doglover: ArkAngel: In the meantime, kids in need of a sugar fix can still bring their own chocolate milk to school

Because warm chocolate stored in a backpack or locker for three or four hours is certainly tasty and healthy

Since milk is poison, I'd ban it and replace it with almond milk across the board.

Milk is poison?? How the hell am i alive?

What a bunch of terrible, spoiled little shi-

or they can make do with the 1-percent, fat free and soy milk that the district is offering.

The monsters who shoved this ban on our precious children should all be tarred and feathered.

It's the trickle-down effect of the vacation-loving Food Nazi. No chocolate milk?????? That's not even socialist, that's communist.

I think most prisoners get treated better than that.

You can take my chocolate milk from me when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

doglover: Diarrhea

Ahh, well I'm on the same boat, but cereal is just too delicious with milk. I'll also never give up cheese, even if it makes me shiat out my lung.

And yet that little milkman on the commercials says, "Hey, this is good for them!"

Sugar fix? Aren't kids getting high on pot, meth, glue, etc.? They could use some glucose.

So what happens if you add soy sauce to soy milk do you get soy chocolate malk?

Declare it a vegetable.

Well I think everyone should give their arteries a hydrostatic test every now and then...

This just in: the vast majority of humanity is lactose-intolerant, and for a very good reason:

"Most mammals normally become lactose intolerant when they are young but some human populations have developed lactase persistence, in which lactase production continues into adulthood. It is estimated that 75% of adults worldwide show some decrease in lactase activity during adulthood. The frequency of decreased lactase activity ranges from 5% in northern Europe through 71% for Sicily to more than 90% in some African and Asian countries." - Wikipedia (new window)

When I think of the thousands of meals I ate in school with the mildly chocolate milk it makes my mouth get all twitchy. I can't eat food with chocolate milk now, but then again store bought tastes more like chocolate and doesn't mix well with food.

powhound: You can take my chocolate milk from me when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Hah, I'll be able to take it because you'll be too fat and winded to resist. Then when I run away taunting you, you'll make a few feeble steps forward to try and reclaim your chocolate milk, but give up when it's apparent that you're far too fat and out of shape to even walk a few feet without breaking into a sweat.

On a serious note - if you want your chocolate milk in schools, then stop making your kids such fat asses.

Soon Hersheys will be selling chocolate syrup in little packets like Heinz does with ketchup.

/actually I'm kinda surprised they don't already do this

Try giving the kids chocolate tea instead. Fewer calories, but you still get the feelgood kick from cocoa.

Best idea I've heard for awhile.

Almond milk and cheerios. You'll shiat bricks... of joy.

Almond mild is great. Have you tried hemp milk?
I recently got some coconut based frozen confection from a place in CO. that was divine! The last time I ate ice cream I woke up in the middle of the night with stomach problems - I'll spare you the particulars.

Nanny state at work again. I'd like to see what the school district's definition of "a lot" of sugar is.

I don't drink milk myself, but as a parent, I do not want the school district dictating how I raise my kids.

It's bad enough they only have that 1% crap, what's wrong with adding a little flavor? (BTW: That's 1% milk fat by volume, not 1% of what whole milk has. Whole milk only has about 3.2% milk fat.) Low calorie, low fat chocolate milk is available.

Heh, in Raleigh NC they go a different direction. Chocolate, strawberry, and VANILLA milk. They stopped buying plain milk because the nutritionally challenged wouldn't drink it.

Alternatively, chocolate milk is very good for you.

My kids' pediatrician told us that children need a higher percentage of fat and protein in their diet than adults but that they also need a lot of exercise - no weight lifting or gym workouts or standing on the sidelines at the soccer games but actual climbing on the monkey bars, running around the playground, sandlot games where you're never organized into inactivity. That was how my generation grew up and there were very few fat kids. My kids grew up the same way. They had chocolate milk most days, at least a couple glasses of milk every day - full fat milk, not skim or 2%. The key was exercise.

Kids today do not seem to have the same opportunity for free-for-all exercise that we had. We never worried about kidnappings or child molestations - they were too rare to worry about. The rule was to get the heck out of the house and be home when the street lights came on. My grandkids do not have the opportunity to even think about that, except when they're at the farm visiting Grandpa and not very many kids have a Grandpa with a farm that they can actually run around on. Is it possible that we have designed our society so as to be child-unfriendly? Is it possible that we are barking up the wrong tree with trying to dictate what children eat? Just wondering.

Kids want sugary treats, more at 11. Chocolate milk has as much sugar in it as soda no one should be drinking it everyday. How about instead of banning it the school offers it once a week on Friday and require nutritional health to be added to school curriculum's. ? That would be a measured response instead of outright banning it.

Oh noes not that evil sugar, calories and fat! If only we would cut all three completely out of our diets, we will all be extremely healthy!

How is this not child abuse?

Even this is abusive:

I'm showing my age here:

When I was 6, there was a chocolate milk machine in my elementary school that took 3 pennies for the milk.

A vending machine that takes pennies? I don't think they exist.

Chocolate milk is a sneaky bastard. Where I live, they sell it in little plastic bags, maybe six ounces' worth or so. I used to get one every morning on my way to work, figuring "It's just chocolate milk, what's the harm?" Then I checked the calorie content, which varies a little from brand to brand but hovers around 180 calories per bag. Which is more than 10% of my daily caloric intake - I cut that little habit out real quick.

gh0strid3r: Low calorie, low fat chocolate milk is available.

So is non-alcoholic and near beer but you would not drink them either.

It's my experience that, when adults decry the lack of passion in young children, they really have something in mind that they should be passionate about. In other words, they would like to direct this passion.

/passionate about chocolate, cosplay, LSU football,, and brightly-patterned undies.

You don't drink enough.

How much is "enough"? I used to go through 3-4 gallons of 2% milk a week (minimum) in my high school and college days. Plus that chocolate instant breakfast stuff. Still alive. No adverse effects whatsoever then and now, although now I limit myself to 1-2 gallons a week since it's expensive.
