Concerning kids and skim milk, wasn't there a scare a few years back about yuppy couples feeding their kids on "health" foods, and the kids ending up malnourished?

"Muesli belt malnutrition" was the catch phrase.

I think the opposite is more of a problem in reality, with obesity in Irish teenagers rapidly catching up with American levels, for example.

Jeremy, you think mayonnaise and zinc-oxide is bad: try toothpaste and ladies leg-hair removing goop.

Especially when you're trying to get up early, without disturbing the household by turning on all the lights.

That was a Good Idea.

Around here milk is 3.5%, and I remember when glass bottles were still delivered, the stuff was not homogenized, so the first one down in the morning could steal the cream for their cornflakes for even more fat.

This behaviour was deprecated by later risers who had to use the skimmed remains, of course.
