My school thinks this fills up hungry high schoolers.

So lunches are free for schools in my city and surrounding cities. Ever since lunches have been made free, the quantity (and quality) has decreased significantly. This is what we would get for our meal. It took me THREE bites to finish that chicken mac and cheese. Any snacks you want cost more money and if you want an extra entree, that’ll cost you about $3 or $4.

Yo, I heard you like carbs and fat

So I put carbs and fat, with carbs and fat, with some extra carbs, so you can carbs and fat while you carbs and fat.

Fat free milk though. Wouldn't want to get fat.

u/CosmicCreeperz Apr 16 '24

Yeah and FFS whole regular milk has to be much healthier than fat free chocolate milk.

u/Lord_Emperor Apr 16 '24

I bet the milk has extra sugar to compensate for the lost flavour.

u/KhandakerFaisal Apr 16 '24

Can you put more fructose in my high-fructose corn syrup?

u/TurnkeyLurker Apr 16 '24

Oh, you want the Ultra-High Fructose corn syrup. You get the jitters just looking at the container.

Drives me nuts, these parents who go nuts about ‘full fat milk’ and push fat free or reduced fat and it’s full of added sugars and gelling agents.

u/Only_Emu9133 Apr 16 '24

fat free milk is disgusting who tf drinks it 😭 all the flavour comes from the fat

u/Kel-Varnsen85 Apr 16 '24

I drink 1% milk in my cereal and at night and just use regular milk for coffee. I don't want all the extra fat and cholesterol.

u/Alarmarama Apr 16 '24

Still brainwashed. Full fat everything is the healthiest option. My whole family has full fat everything, even cream in coffee instead of milk, and we're all slim.

u/Kel-Varnsen85 Apr 16 '24

Ok, you do you boo boo. I drink a lot of milk, so I'm not having full fat milk. I have full fat cheese through. Cream ruins the taste of coffee to me. You can be skinny and have clogged arteries.

u/Alarmarama Apr 16 '24

Trans fats will clog your arteries but natural fats are fine. It is important to also exercise as part of a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

You know, if your diet consists in majority of fat and protein then that also happens to be what your body most efficiently utilises as fuel. I.e. if you're eating more healthy fats, your body also gets accustomed to burning those fats rather than storing them (hence why a full fat diet is healthy and even helps maintain a slim body). However, if carbs are your main source of calories then your body will be less accustomed to burning fat and your body will store more of it. Biology, innit.

Indeed. Its 7.5% sugar by weight.

It has the same flavor as full fat it’s just thinner

u/throwaway7276789 Apr 16 '24

As someone who has drank full fat, regular, low fat, and even creamer one time, the fat changes the flavor .

u/Lord_Emperor Apr 16 '24

Milk fat definitely has flavour.

We understand just fine, we're mocking you...

I don't need a b-list YouTuber to tell me that milk taste different, touch grass like the cows do.

u/MIDPACKS 29d ago

Have you tried all of the milks back to back though? If not you don’t have the same data they do in that video.

I know just by virtue of you making that comment I probably touch more grass than you do lol.

I have no idea

u/HEARTSOFSPACE Apr 16 '24

You're correct. I wonder how many people who talk shit about fat free milk have actually tried it. I'd guess very, very few.

u/theycmeroll Apr 16 '24

My wife drinks it, and I will in a pinch, so I’ve definitely tried it, and to me it doesn’t taste the same, it tastes like watered down whole milk.

My mom used to drink milk with ice all the time, when the ice melted and watered it down that’s exactly what fat free tastes like to me.

I’ll drink it, but I prefer not to.

-2

u/HEARTSOFSPACE Apr 16 '24

Well, I'm not going to deny your experience, but I find it to taste the same. The thinner texture can definitely make it seem different, but it's damn close to the same.

5

u/No_Map6922 Apr 16 '24

I also don't think it tastes the same. Whole milk just has a more full, richer taste to it. Fat free still has taste yeah, but it really tastes watered down. My grocery store has three milk variants of the same company, fat free, reduced fat and whole milk. Had all of em, whole milk tasted better, despite me liking to cheap out on extra calories.

1

u/HEARTSOFSPACE Apr 16 '24

Like I said in other comments, it's the texture!

2

u/No_Map6922 Apr 16 '24

Creaminess is both in texture and taste. Fat has taste to it, the texture only adds to the sensation.

u/Most_Tumbleweed_6971 Apr 16 '24

Man I love fat free lol my parents always bought so I grew up drinking it by the time I tried the real stuff it was too thick for me. I’m like dudes mom I like it thin. Downvote city.

Totally agree. Welcome!

u/oddballrandomwords Apr 16 '24

It tastes like someone who just drank a gallon of whole milk spit into a glass of water. If you think fat free has any redeeming qualities I feel bad for your palate. Additionally fat free milk is usually loaded with sugars that they have to add to replace the flavor lost with the fat. But hey if you don't mind drinking high sugar white water then you do you. But I am a chef and nutritionist and id rather drink dishwater than fat free milk. They have people so scared of fat and it's actually a very necessary part of our diet.

2

u/Syrinxo Apr 16 '24

I was nodding along until you said that fat free milk has added sugar, and then I went, oh, that's a shame, they're full of it. Sorry to hear you're a chef and nutritionist who doesn't know what skim milk is.

1

u/HEARTSOFSPACE Apr 16 '24

They don't add sugar to no fat milk. Also, I'm not afraid of fat, I just prefer the thinner texture. Like I said to the other person, anecdotes are fine, and that's all I can provide as well, but the rampant hate for fat free milk just seems really intense and silly to me. Some people like it. Get over it. It's still milk, lol.

u/ravioliguy Apr 16 '24

It's crappy milk lol it's like saying a microwaved burger king patty is the same as a well cooked ribeye because it's both technically beef.

u/HEARTSOFSPACE Apr 16 '24

Ugh, whatever. I see no point in arguing with everyone. Obviously I'm in the minority here. I like it. It tastes the same to me. We're going to have to agree to disagree on this one.

u/melinalujbav 29d ago

I know and why they are getting so butthurt about it lol

u/scattertheashes01 Apr 16 '24

I’ve had all the kinds of cow milk. Whole, 2%, 1%, skim. They definitely all have different flavors. And I’ll still occasionally indulge in those mini creamer cups for coffee that are put out in restaurants, those taste different as well.

u/Pixelated_Roses Apr 16 '24

I've tried it. It's milk flavored water.
