Okay I didn;t agree with Happy Meals being suspended in certain areas but I at least understood the reasoning behind....but this is just rediculous.....what's next?....maybe we can get rid of Easter Baskets...Christmas Stockings.....hell lets do away wiht Trick or Treating while we are at it... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42929672 Movement underway to remove chocolate milk from school cafeterias Minnesota seventh-Grader Richard Zent often leaves the lunch room with a chocolate milk-mustache. 'I think it's really tasty, it's really good,' he says. Others argue his lunches could be a little less luscious and more wholesome without the treat. 'Why do we have to supplement their sugar at school? They get so much sugar. I mean, my kids are inundated with sugar,' Angela Fiedler, Otter PTO President, says. Fiedler just returned from Mom Congress on Education and Learning in Washington D.C. where there was a lot of discussion on the issue. She admits her kids eat sugary foods on occasion, but says the school should serve as a role model for healthy choices. 'We're trying to promote this healthy food awareness, but yet we're not setting very good examples for them,' Fiedler says. 'They're getting their calcium that way, if they take the chocolate milk,' cafeteria manager Becky Shearer says. Shearer argues chocolate milk has a lot more nutritional value than a can of pop. She says she worries without chocolate milk as an option the kids would stop drinking milk altogether. this is just stupid...the food at most cafeterias suck anyway..so lets get rid of one of teh few enjoyable options the kids have.....maybe if they worried about Gym class being taken away and recess being done away with instead of the chocolate milk....you kids wouldn;t be a buch of fat asses......
