[quote=Anonymous]Alright people -- here's an alternative view.  I agree flavored milks suck, but when they are in the lunchroom, the kids are in control of what they will put in their bodies.  Here's what my daughter would do when faced with white milk and a lunch that she didn't like:  she would maybe drink a little water and pick around whatever the meal was to eat something that most resembled carbs.  That's what she does when I'm with her, and that's what I CONSTANTLY have to work with her to stop.

If she were a FARMS kid, and I couldn't afford to feed her much at home, I'd be praying that the school was enticing her to get protein, calcium and whatever nutrients they could to get into her body.  Healthy habits are important, but when you're doing a bulk business with a tough crowd, sometimes you have to take short cuts.

I can barely get the child to eat breakfast.  Sometimes chocolate milk, with its calcium, protein, and calories, is all I can get her to take in the morning.  At least she's got something to get her through to lunch.
