Do you buy different milks?

Lol, we kept Almond, Soy, 2% and whole in the house.

DC drinks lactose free whole milk (doesn't like almond/coconut/soy milk) and we drink skim.

We buy 2 milks - whole milk for DS, 2% for us.

We buy so much milk and go through it very quickly. Right now we are down to just 2 kinds - 1% for the adults and 2% for the kids. When the littlest was under 2, though, we bought whole milk for him.

When I do my weekly order from Peapod, I usually order 1 gallon of 1% and 2 gallons of 2%. And we go through it, no problem. i have three boys - 10, 5 and 2.5.

Whole milk only has 20 calories more than 2%. Don't bother.

We did until the youngest was 2. Now it is 1% for the whole house.

My son would never drink whole milk. He would only drink 2%. That is why for us.

How on earth are you drinking that much milk?!

Well, I like it, and drink a lot, but organic milk generally has a much further out expiration date. It's not a weekly trip for us.

We do that. Whole for the skinny 14 year old and 1% for us grownups because we like it best.

Not so hard. There's room in the fridge.

it is a taste thing. and the cappuccino froth is different. bubbles are smaller in 1%, and we prefer the lower fat feeling in our mouth. not always about calories.

meanwhile, our teen is underweight, so we try to slop in calories anywhere we can.

dha doesn't do anything for you, anyway.

No, just whole.

I posted earlier that we drink 1%. My youngest is 5 now, so we had one year of whole + 1% and now down to just one kind of milk.

1% rules. It's light enough to be thirst-quenching without the lovely blue-gray color of skim.
