[quote=Anonymous]Those of you who are suggesting that PP just send plain milk to school each day with her DC are missing the broader picture. This is a big nutritional concern that all of us should care about, in the same way that we are starting to wake up to the fact that much of the food served at schools for lunch and snack is basically crap. The problem with flavored milk is that it contains a lot of ADDED sugar. And contrary to one PP's point about fruit containing NATURAL sugar -- these are not at all the same thing. There is no reason to add sugar of any stripe (chocolate/ strawberry) to milk. The vast majority of children have been drinking milk in one way or another essentially since birth, and should not have to be trained to like it in an even sweeter form. Unless of course, you're in the beverage industry and you want to encourage an affinty for sweet beverages... colas, energy drinks, etc.[/quote]
