What kind of milk do you usually use? Whole, skim, 2%, 1%, Soy, etc? Why?

Answer 1

I feel that some fat is essential for our metabolism to be normal. So, I use 2% milk and avoid excess fat in my diet.

Answer 2

Me, hubby and 9 year old: We drink soy milk and use "veggie cheese" and things like that because buying dairy supports the veal industry. We also do not eat beef anymore because of health hazards (and cows are so cute...) We don't eat ice cream or drink milkshakes, even for a treat. Instead we have sugar free water ice pops (ie Chapmans) or frozen grapes, things like that.

3 year old: She drinks skim milk because it's lower in fat, and also eats yoghurt, ice cream, things like that. I will leave the decision to go vegetarian to her when she's older.

1 year old: Drinks whole milk because anything else is too high in sodium (so says my doctor). Also eats yoghurt, ice cream, etc for same reasons as above.

Answer 3

I use whole milk in my coffee. Skim milk on my cereal. Vanilla Soy just to drink (tastes like a shake!)

Answer 4

Silk unsweetened soy (in the green carton) is the best. Cow milk is full of pus and chemicals. The cows are abused and the milk is bad. A cow has to have a baby to make milk, just like a human. So they take away her calf and put her in a cell attached to a metal milking machine. She has no sunlight, and sores all over her body from the BgH shots. That's bovine growth hormone. It makes her sick, and produces a lot of pus in her milk. Cow milk is for making a baby cow fatten up hundreds of pounds quickly. It will fatten you up too, and give you diseases. Yum.

Answer 5

I used to drink Soy milk, but then I heard it can cause cancer so I switched to organic 2%. I drank Soy milk because of the hormones in regular milk.

Answer 6

I worked my way down from 2% to 1%, and now I drink skim. I like skim more than 2% now!

Answer 7

I don't drink milk that often but when I do,it's 2% because I am 17 and am still hoping to grow otherwise it's skim for me.

Answer 8

Skim

Answer 9

Semi Skimmed cos it has more calcium than whole milk.... and is more palatable than skimmed. Soy is just plain disgusting.

Answer 10

Don't do any dairy, doesn't agree with my system... On occasion I'll use soy, nice thing about it is that it has a long shelf life in the refrigerator once opened..... But, I really wish I could drink ice cold WHOLE MILK...... with Oreo cookies....

Answer 11

Whole Milk the rest taste like water to me.
