Is it strange to drink whole milk?
I enjoy drinking whole milk by itself or with a meal. Several people I know claimed that was strange and that whole milk was too "heavy" they like 2% or lowfat. Do most people just use whole milk for cooking? How many of you drink whole milk as a beverage?
Answers:
They would either be "health freaks" or just weird. I don't understand how ANYONE can drink anything other than whole milk. I don't like watered down milk and that's what anything else tastes like. So, no, you're not strange.
Personally I prefer whole milk although nutritionally there isn't much difference between whole milk and 2 percent. I use whole milk in cooking because my personal belief is that 2 percent is watered down and it dilutes the recipes.
besides, to me whole milk just tastes better
And, it has a ton of caleries too.
i find wholemilk too rich and creamy,it depends a lot on what you are used to. also,i can't afford the calories,sob!
no
aolotof the time iuse whole milk for cooking and with my coffee but i dont like to drinkit by itself
It's all relative. I suppose nutritionally, whole milk has a lot more to offer. Never mind the calories. People who complain about calories drink soda and diet soda. Come on now. THOSE are empty calories. And the diet stuff has extra ingredients that are just bad for you. Anyhow, I've noticed the "nuttiness" of whole milk and like it but I admit to drinking skim milk only because I was brought up with it and used to its "bland" taste. But whole milk is cool.
Peace
When I was younger - almost everyone drank whole milk. Whole milk is 3.25% milk fat. We switched to lower fat versions because of the increase in heart disease. Milk fat is mostly saturated fat. You drink what you are used to. My family now drinks skim milk, and find that even 1% is too thick. Some people find even 2 % too watery. It's whatever you are used to.
what is strange about drinking whole milk?
milk is good for you the only difference is the fat content.
hence thats' where the "heaviness" comes from (ha)
I enjoy downing the full on cow too :)
it's not strange but most people drink fat free or 2% milk now because it is less fattening.
We drink raw milk, that is organic, straight from an organic cow and is it good. So, no I do not think it odd. I wish everyone could enjoy a cold glass of raw milk though. All the nutrients and enzymes still alive, still there for your body to utilize.
I could not and had not drank store bought milk for 20+ years. Then we bought our share in this organic dairy herd, now I can drink milk again. We make organic ice cream, butter, heavy cream...Mmmm. It's very good for people who have allergies, especially kids. My cats are getting the raw milk and their thriving, no adverse reaction such as with homogenized/pasturized store bought. Their skin conditions have cleared up.
Hope you'll take a peak at the website. Good information there.
Whole milk was all that was available when I was a boy, it's all anybody drank where milk was concerned. Then you started getting these health freaks who complained about, "the fat, my god too much fat!", and they started making skim, 2%, etc, to satisfy the customers. That's the only difference, but in cooking it's an important difference.
whole milk cooks much better because of the fat content, it holds up to the heat better. If you don't believe me, get a can of tomato soup and use 1% or 2% to make it cream of tomato. When it's done cooking, you'll see what I call "mini-curds" (for lack of a better word), from the milk breaking down from cooking. No joke, happens anytime I use anything other than whole milk. Whole milk is just that, milk with nothing removed. It's fine.
