Noticed at the grocer that they have 6% milk now, when/where did this trend start?

It’s an issue with the dairy industry as a whole. They’ve bred cows to be so efficient at producing milk fat that the cows are overproducing. The current dairy pipeline is having a hard time dealing with the excess, so this is one of the options (just sell higher fat milk)

I think it’s great for milk based espresso drinks. Really easy to foam and has a nice mouthfeel. Calories are much higher though, so you have to pay attention to what you’re consuming more
