Canberran coffee lovers consuming more fat than they bargained for: study - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation):
"Canberra coffee lovers opting for a skinny latte are consuming more fat than they had bargained for, with new data suggesting most ACT cafes do not use skim milk in their coffees.
A survey of 30 Canberra cafes by the Heart Foundation's LivingLighter project found about 57 per cent of cafes used low-fat milk in their coffees when skim milk was ordered.
And of the coffee shops surveyed, 37 per cent did not make skim milk available to their customers.
Heart Foundation ACT chief executive Tony Stubbs said while the issue was admittedly a "first world problem", for people trying to improve their health and monitor their fat intake, the type of milk used in their daily coffee could make a big difference."

Legalising raw milk sales
Why Some States Want To Legalize Raw Milk Sales : The Salt : NPR:
"The federal government banned the sale of raw milk across state lines nearly three decades ago because it poses a threat to public health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association all strongly advise people not to drink it.
But individual states still control raw milk sales within their borders. And despite the health warnings, some Midwestern states have recently proposed legalizing raw milk sales to impose strict regulations on the risky — and growing — market.
Raw milk has become popular in recent years as part of the local food movement: An estimated 3 percent of the population drinks at least one glass a week. Many of its fans are fiercely passionate about what they see as its benefits. They say they buy raw milk because it doesn't contain the growth hormone rGBH, they like the taste, and they enjoy having a direct connection to the food they eat."
