I think I'd be looking at other things for fat other than milk. Like home cooked foods, whole foods and no processed junk before low fat milk. We do not purchase low fat milk here. And my children have a well rounded healthy diet. I worry about the obsession over low fat and children. Overeating and eating the wrong things is the cause of fat problems, not milk. And the amount of fat in real milk is very little in comparison to the rest of the diet so for me it seems like drinking diet coke for weight loss reasons and then washing down a big mac with it. Just my 2c.
