Kids NEED FAT....sheesh....what idiots. Now, after the age of 7, humans really do not need milk....but, they need FAT.
The high fat is necessary for brain growth and in young children it is essential. My pediatrician made me give my children whole milk until after age 3 or so. Then at least 2% milk. Never skimmed or nonfat.
60% of a dried brain in children is FAT. Deficiencies in essential fats will have great detrimental effects on intelligence and behavior.
The State wants dumb and ignorant drugged kids.....so never listen to what the State is telling you. Do your own research.
