My question is; What is taken from milk when it is skimmed?
...and why don't people just buy normal milk and dilute it?

well..the point of skimmed milk for most of us is that "normal", that is 2 percent I guess, milk has a lot of fat in it, some of which is saturated. if you drink a lot of milk like I do (5-6 glasses a day), that really starts to add up. by drinking skim milk instead, you can get the carbs/protein from it without worrying about the saturated fat.
so ya
its not a taste thing for many people
