Soon, very soon, the Bisousette will turn two. At which point she is supposed to switch to 2% milk. These recommendations are made because kids are fat these days. However, the Bisousette is not fat, and I don't really believe that fat causes people to be fat - fat + fructose causes people to be fat. Apparently a lot of people out there let their toddlers drink soda (really? like, pepsi and that crap for toddlers?) and eat a lot of junk, cookies and chips and the like. (Bisousette has cookies and chocolate and chips, actually, almost every day, just a very small amount, I hope. Not entirely sure what she gets fed at the nanny's house when she is over there). Milk is an issue because there are some kids who drink milk to the exclusion of eating other foods, but Bisousette doesn't do that. She eats everything all day long (except olives. I don't see martinis in her near future). I buy fancy organic milk for her beefed up with omega 3 fatty acids. So healthy fat, a robust amount, for her big ol' brain, which is 60% fat. And when I cook for Bisousette, she eats what I eat, which is cereal or oatmeal or eggs in the morning, with fruit and after that veggies or fruit with protein, or maybe whole wheat pasta. And a bit of chocolate chip banana bread today.
Did you guys switch to 2% at two?
