963 - % Milk



What's wrong with this picture? Well, the little cow is about 2% as big as the big cow. That's right, right? Wrong wrong. 2% milk has 2% the amount of milk fat as whole milk does. Whole milk has ............. 3.6% milk fat. So the little cow should be 56% as big as the big cow.

8oz of milk has -

•Whole Milk - 150 Calories - 8g Fat
•2% Milk - 120 Calories - 4.5g Fat
•1% Milk - 100 Calories - 2.5g Fat
•Skim Milk - 80 Calories - 0g Fat

Did you know this already? Then get back to work! Learn something new? Take the rest of the day off. One new thing is enough for one day.

My uncle used to run a dairy farm in Pennsylvania. When we were young, he used to tell us that chocolate milk came from the brown cows. I think I still believe it.

Its already night here.....too late to take the rest of the day off.

I'll go check up on goats milk vs cows milk....seems like Aaron has a sensitivity to cows milk.

If you are on Facebook and play Farmville; Chocolate Milk does come from Brown cows..mind you there are pink cows too.

Skim Milk tastes icky though.

Claudia said...

Then it's possible Holsteins' milk tastes vaguely like Licorice?

Jay said...

Shouldn't the cow that they get skim milk from be skinny and look like she works out everyday?

C - You didn't know there was going to be a test today did you?

B - Uncles would never lie to their nephews, would they?

A - Take an extra 15 minute break today instead. And I could go into European vs Asian ancestory and lactose intolerance ..... HEY, another post!

M - I never could get used to skim milk. I could do 1/2% but they don't make that here anymore.

C - I'd give that a try. We could make our own with black jelly beans.

J - Then it would follow that people that drink skim milk should be skinny and I KNOW that doesn't work.

When I make typos and fix them, I wonder if peoples' blog readers keep getting blasted with repeat posts and comments. I'm glad I don't use one of those things. People like me would drive me nuts.

Mike- Oh shit, I never thought about the repeat posts in the blog readers. I usually go back and edit my posts 15 times after I post the damn thing, beacause I forgot to ad a comma, I need to word something differently, or I need to remove 21 of the fucks that were peppered throughout my post.

I'm a damn lady after all!
