Pope Joan wrote:Where do you stand on this battlefield?
On the one hand, it may be better to drink sweet chocolatey milk than high fructose substitutes which are easily available; after all, it is still low fat, and dairy.
On the other, choco milk has virtually as much sugar as soda pop, and do kids really need that much sugar?
So, where do you stand?
"Some school lunchrooms have turned into virtual battlefields in recent years as activists push for more healthful menus. Remember the soda wars and ketchup as a vegetable?
The latest fight is over chocolate milk. Critics say it has too much sugar, and they have persuaded schools across the country to get rid of it.
In response, the dairy industry has launched the "Raise Your Hand for Chocolate Milk" campaign. There's a Facebook page and an online petition to keep chocolate milk in school lunchrooms.
"We know that when flavored milk is taken out of the school, kids' milk consumption goes down," says Ann Marie Krautheim, senior vice president of nutrition affairs for the National Dairy Council. "

When I was a boy, we got cardboard and tap water. If you were in High school, then you were allowed to draw pictures of food on your cardboard with a non-toxic pen.

yeah, why couldn't they just flavor it without adding sugar?
At any rate, I always drank the chocolate milk, and I think if its a choice between getting more kids to drink milk, or that they might not at all, I'd say keep it around.
