Lowfat milk comes in
> two basic types: 2 percent , meaning 98 percent of the fat has been removed;

Nonsense. 2% milk is milk with 2% milk fat, not milk with 98% of the fat
removed.

This use of x% fat free is really absurd although it is used commonly in
advertisements for low fat products, or supposedly low fat products. You
could advertise whole milk as 96% fat free, obviously not a low fat
product."

The same tricky labeling is used with coffee. De-Caf is advertised as 97%
caffeine free. Well, coffee beans are already 96 % caffeine free. So you're
saving yourself a little caffeine, but not much.
