 |
|
It has to be at least 2% (could it be whole?). But milk tastes a little bit different here for some reason--do you guys notice that?
Anyway, I am going with the 1% now anyway that I see in the store. |

It sounds like you're describing Seoul Milk's standard packaging (depicted here: http://www.google.com/imgres?q=%EC%84%9C%EC%9A%B8+%EC%9A%B0%EC%9C%A0&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=Eyy&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=954&bih=434&tbm=isch&prmd=imvnsu&tbnid=A-fTj7RQOMVd_M:&imgrefurl=http://ask.nate.com/knote/view.html%3Fnum%3D1148999&docid=4WYT14NIO9NLKM&imgurl=http://c.ask.nate.com/imgs/knsi.php/1148999/1/photo.jpg&w=350&h=336&ei=dUX2T66NDq7umAW1paWGBQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=272&vpy=88&dur=1593&hovh=220&hovw=229&tx=102&ty=157&sig=112947854766071544564&page=1&tbnh=113&tbnw=116&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0,i:81). That's whole milk. The "1" has nothing to do with fat content, it's just saying that it's 1st class milk.
The words you want to want to look for are 저지방 (lowfat, 1% for most brands here) or 무지방 (non-fat).
In my home we usually drink Namyang 저지방, which has 1% milk fat, but that's just the brand at our corner store. The carton looks like this: http://www.google.com/imgres?q=%EB%82%A8%EC%96%91+%EC%9A%B0%EC%9C%A0+%EC%A0%80%EC%A7%80%EB%B0%A9&hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=954&bih=434&tbm=isch&tbnid=jzDG437j0RHnIM:&imgrefurl=http://namyangtown.co.kr/198&docid=oJzrC3HJC1EwDM&imgurl=http://cfile1.uf.tistory.com/image/116937544E49CC9319E074&w=300&h=400&ei=_Eb2T6TqLaLomAW-0uyRBQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=579&vpy=49&dur=2346&hovh=259&hovw=194&tx=89&ty=208&sig=112947854766071544564&page=3&tbnh=125&tbnw=94&start=29&ndsp=17&ved=1t:429,r:15,s:29,i:214
Hope that helps. |

| Pasteur milk is by far the best supermarket milk that I've found in Korea as of yet. |

| AFAIK 23~24% - I find it's pretty tasty and good for making cheese. |

I just asked my wife.
Now that I know, I won't be buying this milk again.
Sitting down?
8%.
That's right. 8 percent milk fat.
Enjoy. |

Milk in Korea tastes different due to the different pasteurization process than in the US. I know that "organic" milk in the US is cooked in the same style as milk in Korea. |

Whoa. Whole milk is 3.25. I'm pretty sure it's not 8%, though. |

Goat's milk is yummy too. Take your vegan propaganda elsewhere. |

"Only humans drink it after weaning and milk from a different species at that!"
And only humans drive cars and raise money for kittehs - what's your point? |

Well don't rule it out...
"There was a fishy flavor to the milk, too, which I could not at all account for, till one morning happening to take a stroll along the beach among some fishermen's boats, I saw Hosea's brindled cow feeding on fish remnants, and marching along the sand with each foot in a cod's decapitated head, looking very slip-shod, I assure ye."

I buy Seoul milk as it has the lowest % calcium. Calcium is vital to life but over-retention can lead to impaired kidney function, decreased absorbtion of other minerals and can cause a build up of calcium in the blood - hypercalcemia - which can lead to depression amongst other things. Too much calcium or fructose can also cause prostate cancer. Calcium is absorbed by vitamin D. So if you drink a lot of milk, it's good to eat things like fatty fish, eggs, and mushrooms.
Everything in moderation. |

I retract my earlier comment -- 8% is quite right.

But what? 8%? Doesn't bother me!  Tastes good! |
