Chocolate Milk Ban in L.A. School Districts

This is B.S. I lived on this stuff in grade school




Chocolate milk may get banned from Los Angeles County school districts. The chocolate milk debate is raging once again and a growing number of school districts have removed or are considering removing flavored milks from their cafeterias. It’s recommended that kids get 3 cups of milk per day. Here’s the problem – 70 percent of the milk consumed at school is flavored milk. Will the kids actually drink plain milk, or will it suffer a similar fate to the side of string beans or stick of government cheese? Straight from the tray to the garbage.
As nutritionist Tamara Freuman explains, “research suggests that children who drink flavored milk have higher calcium intake and do not have significantly higher BMIs than children who do not drink flavored milk. Furthermore, missing out on calcium during childhood and adolescence when peak bone mass is being formed risks setting your child up for lower bone mineral density as an adult, when it’s much more difficult to address.”
In an ideal world, probably no nutritionist, parent or teacher would ever want a child to drink chocolate milk but kids need the calcium and nutrients. The real question remains is will students simply not drink the milk at all if only plain milk is offered? Either way, we’d like to see the vending machines kicked out of schools. Children today drink more soda than milk. Can’t help but think the ban on milk will encourage thirsty kids to drop their milk money into soda machines.

that was some good ass chocolate milk.

 

Racism

 

Leave it to california...Just sayin...

 

BLASPHEMY

 

if i was in 3rd grade and they took away my chocolate milk, id fkn rage.

 

Dude, you have no idea.

 

get rid of a calcuim, vitamin, and protein rich beverage with a little bit of sugar... but keep all the deep fried, processed, high fat, high calorie, cholesterol loaded foods.

makes sense to me

 

Wasn't this whole thing started by mrs obama? Anybody inform her about her own FAT ASS yet??



Oh yeah and like a guy above said-racism pull the race card that they only allow "white" milk now and that's being prejudice-you'll get the chocolate milk back real quick.

 

wow... so when are the kindergartners going to start picketing?

 

meh. no big deal. schools already a controlled environment.

 

When I was in elementary school chocholate milk cost a penny more (.04 vs .03).

 

Those Bastards !

 

THEY BETTER NOT TAKE AWAY MY CHOCLATE MILK DAMIT! I NEED IT!
and yes i am yelling at my computer

 

When I was in elementary school I only could get chocolate milk once a week...

 

Mmmmmmmm, chocolate milk

 

My Elementary school (for the first two years it was open) was a k-8th grade. We had vending machines full of Gatorade all throughout the campus, that none of the students where allowed to use except for during lunch.

 

wow... seriously???

 

It's just like them banning sack lunches because the school doesn't like what parents send with their kids to school to eat.

Dirty Pinkos!
