How can non-fat milk be homogenized?

Anyway, the whole milk. Undoubtedly, without question.

I don't know about entrenched, but I guess I might have to pick the bullet

- it has the advantage of being a lot less drawn out and painful ...

Of course, I plan to live forever, neither p/h milk nor bullets being

involved in that immortality, so it's sort of a moot point.

Katja,

Simply because pasteurized and/or homogenized butter fat is still butterfat,

and it still has its associated nutritional profile. True, some of the

heat-sensitive fat-solubles might be destroyed, but a lot of nutrition is still

present in pasteurized butterfat. Furthermore, low-fat or skim milk might be

harmful by supplying so much calcium without the necessary fat-solubles, and

someone made a post a while back to the effect that skim milk is lacking in B

vitamins that are used in digesting the lactose. (I'm not sure about this last

point).

Besides, skim milk tastes like crap. Whole pasteurized milk isn't as good as

raw milk, but it tastes much, much, much better than skim milk, and is more

filling. Also, just looking at skim milk is rather nauseating.

>thanks!!

You're welcome!

Has your friend considered a fourth choice, like drinking water?

To answer this question as it is fruitlessly posed, I would

absolutely choose the whole milk, because it tastes better than skim

milk and probably much better than a bullet if having it placed

gently in the mouth portion of one's head is an option. This is

assuming we're only talking about one cup of milk, so I'd treat it

the same way I would choose one candy bar--by pleasure. If we're

talking about a cup of ex-milk everyday for the rest of your friend's

miserable depraved life, then that's a whole nother ballgame and I'd

suggest a bullet to the head for sure since the stuff inside their

head obviously wasn't working very well anyway.
