Oh, also, on another note, while the Tahoma School District may be saying that sugar is a problem, it may also be a cost saving measure. The price of chocolate has gone up substantially ovewr the last year or two, and is projected to keep rising, as the trees in Africa are aging and not being replanted, as fewer farmers are farming it (it is done on small 1-10 acre family farms, as there’s no industrialized way to process the beans), as the politics in that region destabilize, and as the demand in China and other nations rises. Therefore, the price of chocolate milk may become substantially more costly that “regular” milk.

As a side note, stock up on chocolate if it’s one of your vices, you’ll save yourself some money.
