Actually, lardo, in the population that drinks any kind of milk other than skim, milk is an enormous source of dietary fat.

My family has only had whole or 2% milk my whole life, and we're all at the low spectrum of healthy BMI. So I can see where he was coming from. Not everyone that drinks fatty milk is fat. Just as not everyone that drinks skim milk is skinny.
And, despite what the general belief is...not all fats are bad. Milk fat is a natural, saturated fat. It's essential for cellular regeneration, brain and ocular functions, and skin and hair health. About the only negative of saturated fats is that it has a tendency to increase cholesterol if overconsumed (but nothing is good for you in excess).
Natural saturated fats are nothing at all like trans fats (hydrogenated vegetable oils -- unnatural and unhealthy and THE cause of obesity). Drinking whole milk is not going to make you fat, if you maintain a healthy diet and avoid trans fats.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
