Q&A: is there a big fat content percentage between whole milk and 2% milk? An actual difference vs an advertised 1?

Question: is there a big fat content percentage between whole milk and 2% milk? An actual difference vs an advertised 1?
Some1 saw a documentary that said that 2% fat milk is only marginally different than whole milk, and that milk consumers are getting scammed when they purchased the reduced fat milk. Any insights appreciated, especially verifyable ones.

When losing weight, is it okay to eat one slice of vegan pizza from Whole Foods?

Question: When losing weight, is it okay to eat one slice of vegan pizza from Whole Foods?
Would you happen to know the amount of calories as well in one slice of vegan pizza from Whole Foods?

I figured if I want something like pizza, I’d have the healthy version.

Answer:

Answer by Idiosyncrasy
Well, I figure if I want pizza, I’d like to have the most greasy, fattening version but uh, yeah probably anywhere from 200-400 calories, depends on the toppings really.

Healthier choice: skim milk, low-fat milk, or whole milk?

Question: Healthier choice: skim milk, low-fat milk, or whole milk?
I understand that milk is essentially an emulsion of fat and protein in water, along with dissolved sugar, minerals (including calcium and phosphorus), and vitamins, particularly vitamin B complex…but which out of those three choices are the most rewarding to your health in terms of nourishing the body for a growing child, an adult, and for seniors?

NOTE: this question is not about “fat” or “diet”

Answer by Mr. Peachy®
Milk is good for baby cattle. It is not good for humans in any form… period.

do you feed your 5 month old baby a whole jar of baby food (stage 1) or 1/2 jar?

Question: do you feed your 5 month old baby a whole jar of baby food (stage 1) or 1/2 jar?
this is ONLY for people that feed their babies; NOT for people who want to talk abou the “only feed 6 month old baby jar food” speech.

now that that’s out of the way, i can explain further. i only feed my son during dinner. just to get him use to jar food. he mostly drinks bottle and eat rice cereal. i’ve been feeding him 1/2 jar food for about 1 month, 1x a day. he WAS in the 90% for weight and my fiance and i got a scolding from our doctor, and NOW he’s in the 75%, since we stopped feeding him so much formula. i dont want to over feed my son.

what are some good low-cost items from Whole Foods?

Question: what are some good low-cost items from Whole Foods?
Whole Foods seems extortionate, but it could just be that I don’t know what the best values are there. What I’m looking for are choices that include the best unit price and nutrition. It can be your fave “gluten free” item or fave soy milk or fave “organic soup” or whatever, just something that isnt the Ben & Jerry’s they sell. To make your response even more helpful, throw in a tip on how you cook it or fix it. Taste wise, I am pretty open to most things they sell.

Amy’s vegitarian baked beans – Amy’s chili is good to – also vegetarian

root vegetables are usually very economical

Roasted Vegetables Recipe:

Cut & slice vegetables to the size of your dinner crowd.

Some nice combo’s are:

Combo#1 – all cubed : potatoes smaller cubes – maybe 1 inch, butternut squash bigger cubes as they cook faster, turnip smaller cubes, 3 garlic cloves cut into matchstick size

Combo#2 – all cubed: sweet potato, butternut squash,(turnips optional) 3 garlic cloves cut into matchstick size

Combo#3 – all cubed: potatoes smaller cubes, carrots large cube (as they cook faster), super thick onion slices, turnip optional, 3 garlic cloves cut into matchstick size

Preheat oven to 425°F

Find a pan with sides that will fit all the items in a single layer(very important)

If you own any stoneware, this is an excellent time to use it, as it tastes best, and easier to mange not to get overcooked.

1. Pour all ingredients into the pan, drizzle with grapeseed or safflower oil (high heat oil) Stir.
2. Place into oven. Cook until fork tender. Stirring twice or 3x’s. Approx 20 min – 30min – the larger the cube, the longer to cook.
3. We keep our focus on it! As it’s oil at high heat, even if just a drizzle, we pay attention.

* We don’t slice the garlic, as it will cook too fast and burn, garlic press is too small too for the same reason.
* Often we do just potatoes, rosemary and garlic as well – it’s excellent!
* We use whatever root vegetables we have on hand (other than beets, which can be used, but they need to be cut into 1/2 inch cubes, and they’ll make everything else pink).

Served the butternut squash/sweet potato/garlic combo tonight for a dinner party of 8 and got rave reviews!

Q&A: Milk for adults: Whole, low-fat, 2% (What’s the difference?)?

Question: Milk for adults: Whole, low-fat, 2% (What’s the difference?)?
This is advice for adults, not children/toddlers/babies (if that makes a difference.) What is the difference between milk products marked as “whole”, “low-fat”, and “2%”? I notice that “low-fat” and “2%” is marked differently (and usually priced slightly differently) at the grocer.

Answer:

Answer by ExeneC
Whole milk has a 4% fat content, skim 0% fat. 1% and 2% milk are considered low fat, 0% no fat and whole full fat. They all have the same amount of nutrients, just not the same fat content At my grocery store, prices differ among the brands but a brand’s various milks are all priced the same.
