I think chocolate milk should be allowed at schools. If parents want less sugar in their kid's diets, they should start reducing sugar at home.

just leave it the frack alone.

i mean, the educated nutritionist inside me says we need to coach our kids to eat healthy, and to like to eat healthy...

...but the realist thinks the liberal nutcases need to take a step back and concentrate on the important things.

I don't even like school milk. Overrated. Rather drink water instead.

The government isn't dictating anyones actions - no ones saying anyone can't drink chocolate milk, this school just is going to stop serving it at lunch. There is no right to chocolate milk at the school cafeteria...no ones liberty is being infringed by this. -Sun_Tzu-

Although to be fair there has been some movement on this front as a Chicago school recently banned children from bringing sack lunches from home unless they have a medical excuse/needs. A single lone example to be sure but sometimes if you give an inch and all that jazz...

Anybody who think's chocolate milk is bad for you should read this

btw everything is bad in excess.

Despite the fact that it's proven that chocolate milk is the best post workout drink?hiphops_savior

Relative to what is available, no, it is not unhealthy. Specifically for active, growing kids.

But, again with the nutrition-nazi angle, it is taking a wholesome product (milk) and adulturating with added sugar, flavor, chemicals, and more.

I am playing Devil's Advocate here; when I went to school, we were served stuff that'd make a 21st century Politically-correct-food-nazi cringe and most of the people I know are active, healthy adults now.

I'm inclined to disagree. I've disagreed with LJ on a lot of issues, and I myself am a Libertarian. I think the only point he was truly attempting to make was that this barring of selling a food item is a small step into a larger set of steps designed to take the power out of the parent's hands, and into the government's hands. Just because 51% of parents want their children to not drink chocolate milk, that shouldn't cause the other 49% to suffer who do not care what their children drink OR tell their kids to not buy sugary drinks. battlefront23

As someone who has been on this forum for 5 years, I've been on all sides of the fence when it comes to LJ and his stances on politics, social issues, etc. And though he may be annoying at times, he usually is very keen about arguing his points. battlefront23

Some kids will only drink chocolate milk.....so at least they are getting milk. Really tired of people getting involved in others lives....LJS9502_basic

Yeah, and chocolate milk is better than soda - at least the milk has calcium and vitamins.

Depends which brand you buy - some have more fat than meat.:P

[QUOTE="battlefront23"]Haha but the two become so blurred at times I have a hard time making the distinction... I myself love arguing, but most of the users on this forum (notable ones anyway) are so obsessed with being counter-cultured that it's not even worth it. I have argued with him before, and like previously stated, been VERY annoyed, but I have never felt like he was arguing with me just for the sake of arguing, Sunsha

Next time you have something to say about me....say it TO me. Thanks....

They should. Apparently chocolate milk has more fat than a Big Mac burger. I understand the sugar thing because sugar is what makes the chocolate taste good but why does it have to have so much fat? That just seems like ridiculous.GladlyHandly

Uh, the fat comes from the milk. You just want to give them a glass of chocolate powder?

unless theyre using manufacturing cream (heavy heavy whipping cream), there is no way in hell chocolate milk has as much fat as a big mac lol.

Looks f***ing good to me.

Give 'em the chocolate milk!

I love seeing grossly overweight kids waddling around on their podgy fat legs. Hilarious! Makes me laugh every time.
