Re: Why does milk expire earlier in NYC?

Side note:
Why the hell was the skim selling for $2.19 and everything else for $3.99 this week? It should be the other way around. I shouldn't have to pay more for fat.

Actually when you buy milk that is exactly what you are paying for. Milk is made up of water and milk solids(milk fat, proteins, etc.). SO when you buy skim milk most of the milk fat has been removed. This can be used to make other dairy products. When you buy skim milk you are buying more water than if you bought 2% or whole milk. Therefor the cheaper price for skim milk than for other higher fat milk.
