Full-fat milk sales rise as UK’s appetite for low-calorie options cools

15 comments

1. The war against entirely all too tasty fat is finally over it seems.

2. I’m convinced that this rise is driven entirely by my toddler.

3. “as customers go back to basics to avoid processed food”

   So we can tolerate the mechanical milking and pasteurisation but mechanically removing fat is where we draw the line?

4. Farage moans about full fat milk not being an option when he’s out. I wonder if this is driven by his supporters

5. Only need half as much full fat milk in my coffee vs semi skimmed. Cheaper

6. Drank semi skimmed my entire life until I had a kid when the advice as the time (I think it’s changed to accommodate semi skimmed now) was full fat for little ones. I ain’t never going back from full fat. Everything else is just white water.

8. Take whole milk and simply add water—now you have skimmed milk.

9. Probably because people can’t afford enough to actually eat so are looking at how many calories their pound can get

10. People seem to think full fat milk as it’s been named when it’s actually ‘whole milk’ is full of fat when it’s not, it’s actually low fat, about 5% but because people have started calling it ‘full fat’ it gets a bad rep

    I’ve used whole milk for a long time for its calcium benefits, and I’m not overweight, go figure

11. We only use milk on cereal and recently discovered raw milk . Delicious!

12. Or perhaps people who cared about the health issues now drink oak milk

13. Good; fucking skimmed milk..may as well have water on my fucking Weetabix.

14. One of my very few weekly shopping indulgences is organic milk. It definitely tastes better than the non=-organic alternative.

15. I haven’t drank full fat milk in probably over a decade and based on everyone here saying how much better it is I don’t think I ever will.

    I drink pints of semi skimmed no problem so I’m not going to choose the option that’ll make me even more fat.
