milk confession

Ever since I can remember I have drank skim milk. All through high school that is all my family bought. So when I went away to college, I bought skim milk. I remember thinking that other peoples milk was gross when it was 1 or 2%. When I got married I had to convince Bob to let us drink skim, and he so nicely went along with it.

I was reading in a fertility book the other day that whole fat dairy products help with fertility, especially ovulation- my main problem. Apparently as you go down in milk, more hormones are stripped from the milk.

So I went to the grocery store and bought 2%. There was NO way I was going to buy whole milk. Now I have to admit that I am obsessed with 2% milk. Last week has been the best week of my life, we went through a gallon in a flash. I love milk! I can't believe I have been drinking that watery skim milk for basically my whole life. And Bob was happy to say, "I told you so!"

Maybe next time I will try whole?

glad you like it. I still can't drink a glass of milk without nesquick in it. I did not get grandpa's tastebuds.

I knew you would love it! It doesn't compare to that watery stuff! In cereal it is not that bad, but just to drink it, not so good!
