Honest Descriptions: Skim milk

Next time you sit down to chug a frothy glass of skim, chew on this: what you're really imbibing is the refrigerated end product of a long, peculiar process.  The starting point is the often manual extraction of a white, homogeneous utter secretion from female cows.  The secretion is pooled together before undergoing an extensive heating and cooling process and having its fat strained, leaving what essentially looks like calcium-rich dirtied dishwasher in an oddly shaped plastic carton at your local grocery store next to the bowel-regulating, bacteria laced yogurt.
