This is a change? How? I always heard it was whole milk at least until 2 years, they need the milk fat to aid in brain development.

Ahh.. they want them on 1-2% because they fear obesity?

Sorry, but if your kid is obese at 1-2 years old, its not the fat in the milk doing it.

That's exactly what I always heard and advised parents. There has to be some ulterior motive for the Commies at the AAP to change their recommendations....

Guess what? This is a change because those bastards at DHS (Human Services in several states) give moms “free milk’ though WIC - and FORCE them ONLY to get 2% milk.

Human breast milk is higher in fat than the these lamebrain nutritionists recommend. I used to breed various animals. They all needed a higher fat diet until mature. For some a low fat diet could produce epilepsy.
