The fun that is Skinny Latte

Skinny Latte is fun to say. Perhaps that's why we hear it so often. Skimmed milk, red top, skim or skinny - it's all the same thing. It's whole milk, but with the cream removed, thus creating a lower-calorie option.

It's not a failsafe diet option though. Prefixing "large mocha with hazelnut syrup and whipped cream" with "skinny" really doesn't count. The milk renaissance calls into question the actual benefits of a calorie controlled diet.
