Okay i know that little kids should be drinking homo milk and that once ur older u should be drinking skim milk and such because ur not growing and etc but what about 1% milk or 2% milk, when should you starting drinking 1 or 2 percent? for example, let say u were 14 or 16, should u be drinking 1 percent since u r still growing but ur not a kid anymore? idk, i'm really confused.

Well, skim milk just has less fat than regular milk, so when you are a little kid, you need a bit of fat in your milk to help you grow to be healthy. However, if a child is a bit obese, the best choice is skim, because it lacks fat.
If you are 14 or 16 you should probably be drinking 1% or 2% milk. And they should continue until they are at least 20, or feel like they don't want to grow too much more. Then they should switch to skim, if they want to.
Hope that cleared things up for you. :-)

Raw full fat whole organic milk from pasture raised animals (cow or goat) that is not givin any hormones or antibiotics. Click hear for sources. http://www.realmilk.com/
If you don't have access to raw milk then pasturized organic milk that is NOT Ultrapasturized and NOT Homogenized. Trickling Springs sells this kind. Whole foods sells this in glass bottles. Get the cream line.
Stay away from 1% or 2% milk. Manufactures add powdered milk in low fat milk to give it bulk. But powdered milk has oxidized cholesterol and the oxidized cholesterol will clog up your heart.
Stay away from soy also. It really bad for you. The only soy that is safe to eat is fermented soy like soy sauce or miso.

By 14 or 16, either 1% or 2% would be ok for you . Whichever one you prefer.

Are you kidding me? You're stressing about milk? It's Friday night. Go get laid. And then stop off at McDonalds and buy yourself a Super Size Chocolate milkshake and down the puppy in one shot!
