Gaining

Preferring half and half over whole milk?

Wasn't sure if this should go in this forum or general, although it could go into either. You might see what I mean in a moment. It's more asking about a preference, although this preference could mean more pounds and inches.

Of course, half and half has more calories and tastes creamier than whole milk. In the U.S. anyway, 10.5% vs. 3.5%.

In my mind now, I find the extra creaminess makes it taste better. Whole milk tends to taste watery now, and doesn't offer the same satisfaction.

While milk is usually pasteurized, it's often not ultra pasteurized, so the milk goes bad and rancid quickly, while the half and half will keep, so that's another strike against milk.

I'm not sure if I could ever go back to milk, but instead will sometimes drink half and half like milk. There's something oddly satisfying and even alluring knowing that a cup has 320 calories but goes down fast.

Has anyone else tried this and also feels this way?

Or do you still prefer milk?
