The Take
Friendly Farms Low Fat Cottage Cheese delivers solid protein but sells fat phobia as virtue. Real cottage cheese has cream; this version strips it out and adds gums to fake texture.
Buyers signal fitness discipline while getting a processed shadow of the original food. The low-fat label exists to market scarcity as health.
The Verdict
This is protein with training wheels for people terrified of fat. The gums do the heavy lifting that cream used to handle.
Skip low fat. Buy full-fat cottage cheese — real fat, real based, zero marketing cope.
