We have a quart of “fat free” half & half in the refrigerator at my office. Let’s think about this for a minute.<\/p>\n
The premise of half & half is that it is half cream and half whole milk, right? Whole milk, as we all know from a zillion years of grocery shopping, is rated at 4% butterfat, hence the explosion of low and non-fat milks (2%, 1%, 1\/2%, skim). Light cream, the other traditional ingredient in half & half, is rated at about 20% butterfat. Regular half & half works out to about 10 \/12 to 15 percent butterfat<\/a>.<\/p>\n So, explain to me then how fat-free half & half is any different from skim milk?<\/p>\n Once again, marketing triumphs over substance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We have a quart of “fat free” half & half in the refrigerator at my office.
