[quote=Anonymous]Ugh I was a nanny to a little boy that drank chocolate milk non-stop all day.  And he was a pudgy little butterball that didn't have good nutrition habits otherwise as well (only wanted chicken nuggets and fries too).  Children really need to be raised and get used to eating and enjoying healthy stuff.  I as an adult love skim milk, brussel sprouts, liver... All things that most kids (and many adults) hate.  I grew up with a persistant mother that gave me healthy choices and encouraged me to eat healthy, sugary things were merely a special treat.  Kids that consume large amounts of sugary and fatty (bad fat) foods are on the fast track for obesity and all that goes along with it.  Diabetes, heart disease... Which all put a strain on health care for us all.  And it's just selfish for parents to babysit their kids with these foods rather than just making a little extra effort to help them find healthy choices they like.

My son hates milk btw, but loves loves loves low fat plain (sugar free) Greek yogurt mixed with fruit purée.  He'll gets it for breakfast and an afternoon snack.  Lunch often has cheese slices with fruit.  He still gets his calcium on.[/quote]
