When you go to the grocery store or when you purchase milk; what type of milk do you buy. Do you buy the whole milk, 2%Milk, l%Milk, Skim Milk, Soy Milk, Goats MilK?Why is it that you choose this type over the other types of milk.? I , myself, prefer the whole milk. I know it has more calories; but I rather have taste and make up for the calories elsewhere:) What type of container do you purchase your milk in?

I love to drink fresh milk, I like both from cow and goat. I also love to drink soy milk. People say that soy milk is a very healthy drink. It also makes your skin beautiful. Milk is one of my favorite drinks.

Tell me: Is goats milk the same taste as cow's milk. I have heard many say that goats milk has a wild or strong taste. I haven't tried soy milk, I have heard it's quite expensive.

I didn't notice the difference when it comes to the taste but I always get to drink cow's milk. I only drink goat milk once in a blue moon. Soy milk in our country is cheap. There are also stores that sell soy milk. Sometimes they are mixed with fruits like banana, apple or orange. They taste really good.

I love the milk very much. Unfortunatelly the good Hungarian milk is for export, because the Hungarian farmers get better price abroad for their milk. Anyway the milk became terribly expensive in the last month, escpecially the HUngarian milk, so I am pressed to buy the czech milk. But answering to your question I can afford only the cow milk. I always buy 1,5% milk. There is not so many choices: I could buy 2,8%, or I could buy milk from farmer, that is very fat, and that is not pasteurized. In fact we buy milk always in grocery stores (12 liter/pack)

Whole milk is not good for cholesterol and skim milk is kind of drinking water, so I prefer semi-skim milk. I would prefer it just like that, but my wife likes it to be extra-calcium. The taste is better when it is only pasteurized, but extra-calcium comes only in the ultrapasteurized milk. So that's the extra long name for my milk: semiskim, extracalcium, ultrapasteurized milk. It comes in plastic sachets of 1 liter each. By the way, Uruguay it's supposed to be one of the countries where milk is cheapest: 1 liter pasteurized milk is worth half american dollar. What's the price in your country?
