Whats with this tastless low fat food?

[Jim in Anchorage]

So I'm in the store looking for Mozzarella cheese. Nothing but low fat part skim garbage. So I give up and go to buy milk. 5 doors on the dairy cooler for low fat,%2 fat and no fat milk, [basically colored water] one for whole milk. The insult is they sell the cream they remove from these "healthy" products for top dollar. Why are fat people buying milk and cheese anyway? Look fat people buy your wheat thins and leave my food alone. I even saw "low fat" bacon. If you're fat why are you eating bacon?

Don't knock skim milk. You get used to the lack of fat. It's the only milk I'll drink now.

[Chef Jim]

I don't have a problem finding whole milk. I don't drink it I make cheese with it. But I do agree that it can be frustrated finding something that's real. Try locating sour cream.

Come to think of it. Why do they put a date on sour cream? Are they expecting it to go good?

We buy organic milk for the kids and the 2% tastes pretty good.

Why exactly do I need to get used to the lack of fat? I am thin, work hard in a cold climate and need calories. That's how I keep warm and work all day..,

No, I'm saying that after drinking skim milk for awhile, you get used to it. If you're using milk to get fat, keep drinking whole. Personally I can't stand whole milk, even in tea. Even 2% is too creamy for me now.

I pray for your culinary soul....or lack thereof.

You know they sell water and white food coloring I assume? Why are you buying anything labeled "milk" at all?

[BuffaloBud]

Maybe they make low fat food tasteless because if it tasted good you would eat more of it - thus negating the low fat feature.

Or it could be that fat is what gives food it's flavor. Google larding.

That I knew.

I assumed you did. That's why a ribeye tastes so good and a filet mignon is so so. Nice and tender but so so flavor wise.

Sour cream definitely goes bad.

[Jim in Anchorage]

Oh another thing. Ice cream made with lo fat milk is not ice cream. It's ice milk and should be labeled as such. Again why are they catering to the lardo's who want to eat 2 gallons of ice cream for a snack and still feel good about themselves because it was "lite" ice cream?

I'm talking about drinking it/putting it in cereal or tea. As for my culinary soul, I don't cook. I leave that to the experts, namely my wife.

Like I said, I used to think like you do.

And what "enlightened" you? Is this a artery thing? Give me one reason I should eat fake cheese and drink gutted milk.

You can do what you want. Moderation is the key.

Is it true that skim milk is worse for acne? Especially teenagers. I read that somewhere and I am not sure if it is true?

 

Try locating sour cream.

 

What does this mean? Is the sour cream they sell not really "sour cream?" Sour cream seems to be the easiest thing to find in the dairy case... All different kinds and brands!

Moderation in what? Drinking real milk and eating real cheese? Where not talking whiskey here. How is a glass of whole milk going to hurt me? Am I a walking heart attack?
