How exactly is that 2% determined? 2% of what?

Never quite got that...

2% by volume of the milk is fat, iirc

whole is ~4%

Whatever it is, it's so much better than 1% or the milk flavored water.

It took me a while to get used to the taste of 2% milk when my mom first started buying it years ago, but eventually I did, and no whole milk tastes way to rich for me. Weird.

2% milk is the best. I always rip on my girlfriend for liking Skim milk - that stuff tastes like crap... Sometimes when she runs out of milk I pour half a glass of my 2% and fill the rest with water and stir it up to gross her out....I really don't see the difference though, heh.

Cause anything under 2% is milk flavored water!

Its 2% fat by volume but like 30% fat if you look at where the calories come from.

We have been buying the smart milk lately that tastes like whole milk but is only 2%. Or you can get the fat free one that tastes like 2%. It really does taste like whole milk but it is about 50% more in price. I think its worth the money to save myself from the fat.

I was going to say..

You don't suppose anyone in the milk industry benefitted from being able to label milk as 2% fat by volume, instead of 30%+ fat by calories, like all other food?
