Why do people prefer semi-skimmed milk?

[optimisticzoomer]

Most people buy semi skimmed, or even skimmed, because they think it’s “healthier”, aka lower in calories

But many people claim to prefer the taste of semi skimmed milk over whole milk. I grew up drinking semi skimmed milk (not a lot, perhaps I could’ve heightmaxxed had I drank more), but once I tasted whole milk, semi skimmed just tastes like water with a hint of flavour

Dont drink milk anymore, although I grew up drinking whole milk.

But now I realize how trash it is and skimmed milk is just better cause its no saturated fat and has better macros

Did you consume a lot of dairy growing up? I’m always amazed at how high consumption per capita is for some countries. Sweden is near the top. Yeah I’ve considered quitting milk but it’s just cheap and easy calories and protein. Rn I’m drinking a 1 litre carton. I only like flavoured plant “milks”

I was a milkomaniac growing up.

Drank it everyday. It was the only thing keeping me from wasting away in to nothingness

Are you tall in relation to your parents?
I’m like 5 inches taller than one of my brothers but an inch shorter than the other. I wonder if our diet preferences differed

This wasn’t aimed at me but I didn’t really drink milk that much hope this helps

I just grew up underweight.

Remember being decently tall compared to my peers and then everyone just outgrew me

Maybe you were an early puberty cel
I was borderline underweight all my life too
But I was short in school, hit puberty around 14, and grew 4+ inches after 16
