Why is the standard milk now Low Fat

It seem that everywhere you order a tea/coffee, be it in a vending machine, restaurant or petrol station, the milk they give is Low Fat Milk.

I want full fat milk in my coffee!!! What do you want??

kfallon · 22-02-2012 05:47PM

Low fat will do me just fine, thanks!

WE DEMAND MORE FAT AND HOT CHINESE FOOD!!

Have those mothers who were passing the burgers through the school railings to their kids signed up to Boards recently?

:pac:

Hate low fat milk. Watered down shi'te

xzanti · 22-02-2012 05:51PM

Low fat for me every time... I switched from full fat years ago and had to have full fat on my Weetabix one day as there was no low left.. Jesus it was like eating cream..

Not a fan of skimmed though

too watery for my liking.

Low fat milk is easier to foam

All cows are on diets these days.

Cow + Diet = Low Fat Milk

Chuck Stone · 22-02-2012 05:53PM

Because the dairies are creaming it..

John Doe1 · 22-02-2012 05:54PM

Petition your local politician about it

Full fat milk for me. It's healthier too, a lot of the vitamins are missing from low fat milk.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 22-02-2012 05:54PM

I like all my dairy products full fat. I hate these god dam health freaks trying to push their agenda on us. We don't all want to live till were 90 you know.:mad::mad::D

Gummy Panda · 22-02-2012 05:57PM

Full fat.

Fat is good.

Micky Dolenz · 22-02-2012 05:57PM

There are 640 calories in a litre of full fat milk.

Standard Toaster · 22-02-2012 05:58PM

Yak Milk thank you very much.

_feedback_ · 22-02-2012 05:59PM

At least it's not the UHT stuff. But there's no demand for that, cos it's shíte.

I like my tea like I like my women - hot, black and as wet as possible.

cocoshovel · 22-02-2012 06:00PM

Ive been drinking nothing but low fat milk for years now. Full fat milk is nicer but it makes me feel bad for being heavier on calories etc.
Low fat milk isnt the watered down one, thats slimline milk. It actually just tastes like 50% milk 50% water, yuck.

ash23 · 22-02-2012 06:00PM

I like skimmed milk. It's an unpopular opinion though. I'd get less flack for being racist.

22-02-2012 06:00PM

Dairy products are disgusting.
Anyway milk over here isn't real milk anyway, with the ****e they feed us there's not enough cows in the world to produce that stuff. In Hungary they have to call the same stuff Breakfast Drink, they're not allowed imply that it's actually real milk.

Our milk is some of the best milk in the world (....probably :pac:). I have had people from America, Italy and other parts of the world tell me how bloody amazing ours is compared to their horrible stuff.

Sindri · 22-02-2012 06:03PM

Breast milk FTW! Yay!!! \0/

KTRIC · 22-02-2012 06:06PM

I used to buy Alpine milk in Germany, its 3.7% fat and you can nearly cut it

Bloody tasty stuff :P

Nothingbetter2d · 22-02-2012 06:08PM

full fat milk tastes sour to me uggghhh....... skimmed milk for me

TeddyTedson · 22-02-2012 06:08PM

Low fat milk is a complete marketing angle for over weight people who think going for a 20min walk once a month and drinking low fat milk in their tea while they eat cake will help them with losing weight .
Super Milk ftw but they seem to have made that low fat in recent years now too.

The King of Moo · 22-02-2012 06:10PM

Did anyone ever try that Omega 3 milk? I had it a couple of times and was convinced it tasted slightly of fish. Yet everyone else who tasted it said it was fine.

Was I imagining it because I was aware there were Omega 3 oils in it, or was I being crazy?

Or was I even right?

stupidusername · 22-02-2012 06:11PM

This low fat everything is really annoying. milk is only 3.5% fat in the first place, which is perfectly fine in a normal diet. stop trying to take the fat out of everything!! just balance your feckin diet and you'll be grand.

RichieC · 22-02-2012 06:12PM

Normal milk is fking 3.5% fat! low fat milk is codology.

clintondaly · 22-02-2012 06:13PM

In order to turn Full Fat(3.5%) into low fat you need to remove all that is good about it,you are then left with low fat which has little or no Vitamins etc.
you then have so called super milk where they put the vitamins back in.

United States
80% Butter
40% Manufacturers cream
36% Heavy whipping cream
30 – 36% Whipping cream or Light whipping cream
25% Medium cream
18 – 30% Light, coffee, or table cream
10.5 – 18% Half and half
3.25% Whole milk
about 2% 2% or Reduced fat [9]
1.8% Semi-skim
about 1% 1% or Low fat [9]
0.0 – 0.5% Skim milk [9]

Butterfat content UK Terminology
5.5% Channel Island milk or breakfast milk [13]
3.5% Whole milk or full fat milk [13]
1.5 – 1.8% Semi-skimmed [14]
1% The One or 1%
Less than 0.3% Skimmed

Good Marketing!
