This is a fact-free reply, but I am old enough to remember when skim milk was considered fake, bogus, only for groups of people you don’t like, etc. (It also caused a huge dairy byproduct surplus and then cheese had to be included in everything to make the dairy lobby happy.) I recall trying it and hating it just for the texture and taste. But skim and 1% hold up well to ultrapasturizing and those qualities got better in future rounds.
Fast forward some decades and now I find myself using oat or some nut milk in cereal and liking it. I try to lean vegan when I can to avoid inflammatory side affects. The funny thing is that now if I do indulge in dairy milk I go for whole again as if I was 11 years old.
- loopdoend 4y agoUseful to know when switching to nut milks that almond milk is chock-full of oxalates and possibly not good for people with kidney stones.
- mc32 4y agoI can’t do whole and can’t do skim(ed). So it’s 2% all the way.
- bioemerl 4y agoHonestly I don't think this has gone away, nobody I know likes skim milk and it's a pretty universally joked about topic in my circles.
- illiac786 4y agoProbably depends on the circles/country. No one I know ever drinks non-skim milk (3-4% fat here). Skim milk is the standard (1.5% fat), when someone says "milk" the mean "skim milk". Starbucks only offers Milk/Soy/Oat where I live, I don't remeber seeing "Skim Milk" listed, hence I assumed they used skimmed milk like I do. In the other hand there are small quantities of non-skim milk in supermarkets so some people must be using it.
- slothtrop 4y agoYeah for me it's the lactose. I won't drink it straight, but I'm good with yogurt/kefir and hard cheeses.
