[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Although I understand OP's objection to strawberry milk, I think this is a great teaching point for our children.  Either (1) you pack your child's lunch and explain to him/her that you are doing so, b/c you do not think that the school lunches are healthful; or (2) you tell your child that s/he is not permitted to purchase strawberry milk.  Children need to learn about nutrition and how to make good choices, why not start early.

As long as there are good choices in schools, I feel that there are bigger issues to worry about than their drinks (but, then again, I have two underweight children, and we still serve them whole milk).[/quote]

Well, obviously, PP, parents aren't making it a "teachable moment."  That's why we have an epidemic of childhood obesity:

Also, you understand "underweight" is not being in a low percentile, right?  So many people don't understand this on DCUM, so I worry about our educational system as a whole, not just what they're serving for lunch.[/quote]
