Wow, apparently another expert believes Trix yogurt should be illegal! Maybe the "non-entitled" EOTP residents should re-think their obsessive attachment to the stuff.

Please point me to the scientific publication that calls Trix yogurt poison.
Your inability to understand moderation is ridiculous. Please stop pretending to understand science and go back to people magazine.

Thanks,

NP here. Not a scientific article, but about emerging science regarding sugar: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/17/magazine/mag-17Sugar-t.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

So no scientific support for "poison"? OK, so back to moderation. Which that article seems to support.
Now, if the schools start offering jumbo size 40oz sodas then we can talk about too much.

You ruin your credibility by crying wolf.

Pointing out that sugar is turning out to be a lot worse for your metabolism and overall health than we previously thought is not "crying wolf" or ruining anyone's credibility. I'm not an EOTP parent, but I find nothing wrong or crazy with questioning whether schools should include such a high-sugar content item as flavored yogurt in kids' lunch, especially at a school where lots of children come from lower SES backgrounds where sugar already tends to be too large a part of the diet. No need for the school to add to that.

What makes you think it is satire? It's dead serious. Read this:

I'm fine with reasonable questioning, and volunteering to work out alternatives. But shrieking about poison and demanding changes is over the top.

@21:51: I haven't read any shrieking. The only "changes" I've read about are an interest in enforcing the D.C. Healthy Schools Act. Trix yogurt, McDonald's, donuts, ho-hos, cupcakes with icing, are all out of compliance. What's wrong with expecting -- even "demanding" -- compliance with public health law at our schools? This is about the health of our kids, for Pete's sake.

OK, I'll apologize for calling it shrieking of you can do two things:
1. Give me the specific section of the act that it violates. The word "sugar" didn't show up in a search.
2. Explain why you think DCUM is a place to report a violation.

Read it yerself, fer crying out loud. It doesn't seem you have much interest in your kids' health. Hopefully others do. There are some good articles posted here, read them too.

I doubt any pediatrician will agree that yogurt is poison.

Title II, section 202, (b)(1) says nothing about sugar.
Further, (b)(1)(C)(ii) says those standards aren't applicable until 2022.

Before you go campaigning to change the law, please get some mental help so that you can talk about facts and logic better.

Actually there is at least one renowned pediatrician who thinks sugar is poison:
