I would like to know where you can find low fat milk that contains 34%

fat. For those of you that care about the truth, milk containing four

different fat levels can be purchased.

1. whole milk- contains 3.25% fat

2. 2% low fat milk- contains 2% fat

3. 1% low fat milk- contains 1% fat

4. skim milk- contains less than .5% fat

If you don't believe me go to the super market and look at the label or

look in the Code of Federal Regulations published by the Food and Drug

Administration.
