0% versus skim milk
 

I was just wondering if you like 0% or skim milk better?

They are the same. Skim milk has no fat and 0% has no fat.

I only drink non-fat...or skim....or 0%....all the same, no fat. Any thing else tastes "heavy" to me, kind of thick.

Did you mean 2%????

We really enjoy non fat (0%), aka: skim milk...tastes very rich to us we've been drinking it for so many years. But I make my tea every day (at home and work) with a dash of 1/2 and 1/2!

Ditto to the others 0% is skim milk.

However ... perhaps you are asking the difference between skim milk processed the original way and the newer pur-filtered or fine-filtered milks?

Because of the process they go thru, they do tend to seem richer, and are often advertised as seeming to be more like a milk with butterfat (as in 1% or 2%)

Would this be the question you were posing?

I think she just didnt realize O% and skim are the same. Different dairies use different names on the containers. By shopping at various stores, you will see both used. Also, years ago, we used the term skim and now they say no-fat or non-fat.

I used to think skim was watery and almost translucent. But now that is all I purchase and I dont feel that way. I dont know if the processing has changed over the years.

I buy whole milk and most times flax, almond and coconut milk. Did you know organic milk, has triple the shelf life of regular milk? Seems it would be less.

I think the industry is using 0% as a marketing ploy. Since everyone is on the low-fat-no-fat craze 0% "sounds" better than "skim" does. Since I have problems with milk, I have not drank a glass of (cow) milk in many years. But I do remember that skim did look and taste watery. I do cook with milk when I make Mac and cheese or when something needs milk, I use 2%. For cereal, I use coconut milk. Funny, I can eat cheese, yogurt and ice cream, but milk kills my stomach.

Neither. I get whole milk. The others just tastes like water and spoils faster. IMO.

We use almond milk, can't have dairy. If we could, we'd go organic, no chance od hormones or antibiotics being added.
