$4.45 a gallon here in Central Florida.”
Wow, you must be among the 1%’ers to be able to buy a gallon at a time. I’ve cut back to just half a gallon a week. But I still insist on buying Borden’s so that might be part of it. Gallon of the brand of skim that bears the label “WICK approved” was $4.20 but it was more expensive than a couple of the other brands. I grew up on a farm and drank whole milk for a lot of years. Just can’t do skim milk.
One is better off drinking whole milk anyway considering how skim milk is "made." The myth that one shouldn't consume fat for good health is inaccurate. One needs fat in their diet for good health. It's just that there are healthy fats - coconut oil, avocados, fish to name a few - and unhealthy fats - those manufactured in labs (trans fats). Back when the gov't. wasn't pushing low fat foods and people were cooking with lard/Crisco, most people were thin and healthy. Now with all of the low fat foods most people are obese.
