Bans on chocolate milk in schools?
Now, if the rest of a school lunch menu was healthy and tasty and calorie conscious, then perhaps I could see chocolate milk getting targeted.
But, if 60 extra calories a day is going to be the make or break for a kid’s weight, maybe something bigger is wrong – and it gets kids to drink milk. Let them have the 60 calories and send them out to play afterwards instead of letting them live their lives in front of the TV set.
When we lived in Japan, chocolate milk was the only way my brother and I would drink milk. There was something…wrong…with the regular milk. (It wasn’t Japanese milk, it was some reconsituted stuff that the commissary sold.)
Kids like chocolate milk. It is a simple fact of life. Why take away a small joy at lunchtime?
