On a daily basis I have kids bringing for snack (not dessert):

[b]Packaged muffins, cookies, brownies,[/b] Doritos, cheetos. And the quantities they are bringing are astounding too.

This is terrible brain food. It makes them sleepy, unfocused and it’s terrible for their health too![/quote]

At our school they hand these out for breakfast- well not "cookies" but sweet muffins and pastries.  Plus juice or chocolate milk.  I agree it's terrible for the reasons you state but this is far from just a problem of poor parenting.[/quote]

Chocolate milk is one of the top nutritious recommendations for pretty much every serious athlete in the world. But some influencer or random journalist told you it’s uNhEaLtHy so you get your panties in a twist at the thought of a kid drinking it once or twice a day.

It’s very obvious that most of you do not have older kids (or kids you’ve actually managed to raise to adulthood). The sanctimommy is strong in this thread.[/quote]

I think the nutritional needs of a serious athlete are quite different than the nutritional needs of an elementary school child....[/quote]

The point, dummy, was that chocolate milk isn’t inherently unhealthy.

And I actually think growing, active kids DO have nutritional needs more in line with serious athletes than with their middle-aged, ano/orthorexic mommies.[/quote]

The fact that you think parents who choose regular rather than chocolate milk is a sign of an eating disorder makes you the dummy.[/quote]

We’re currently discussing choosing between chocolate milk and no milk, fool.[/quote]

You are.  No one is saying offer no milk, fool. [/quote]

offered =/= consumed. This point has already been raised, many pages ago. Try to keep up![/quote]
