Is chocolate milk really that much less healthy than regular 2% milk? AFAICT they are basically the same, with the former having an extra 5g or so of added sugar per 8oz glass. It’s much better for you than, say, apple juice which is almost entirely just sugar.
Milk should just not be given to children at all in school. I don’t understand why we can’t have kids drink just fucking water. We shouldn’t be encouraging kids to drink sugary anything. Calcium and protein can come from so many other sources. I never understood milk as a lunch drink option as a kid and I don’t understand it now.
What the fuck are you talking about milk is amazing. Look at the macros and you quickly realize it is exactly what kids need. Milk fat protein and sugars all natural.
It arguably had more protein than almost any other school food.
You people are fucking nuts.
Milk is amazingly delicious. It makes a lot of delicious things. It provides a modest amount nutrition.
Milk can be easily swapped out for more sustainable whole foods. The milk industry is horrendous and we shouldn’t be propping it up by way of our public schools.
Name another drink with 1gm protein per 1oz fluid.
