"The food police have added whole and two-percent milk to the list of 'poor nutritional quality' beverages in their crosshairs, recommending that they be removed from American's schools."
Just what exactly do these freaks want us to drink?

So are they going to pass out calcium, vitamin D and potassium suppliments instead?
Talk about bad bones and teeth waiting to happen.

I can see thier logic: Everyone has drunk milk either is dead or will be.

Ditto - cows have 4 stomachs in which to digest cow's milk. Very hard for the human body to digest, causes immune response in the gut, aggravates/exascerbates mucous, especially in young children prone to ear infection. My first baby had awful ear infections as soon as we introduced cow's milk...within a day of removal, ear infections gone.

I don't know about 'poor nutritional quality', but anyone who drinks milk is getting much more than they bargained for:

Pus Counts in Milk
Milk. It does a body bad.

I had to be taken off of it as an infant as well.
I don't see how anyone can drink the stuff.

But evidence linking childhood obesity to sodas and snacks is utterly lacking.
Oh, yea?

I've consumed whole milk for the last 66 years in large quantities, still drink over 2 gallons per week, and haven't been sick in 58 years, can still fit the clothes I graduated from high school in, and am not alergic to anything.
Milk is healthy and the best drink available.
One thing I very seldom drink is water, you know what fish do in it!

I understand about children who can't handle the stuff. But my pediatricians practically threatened me with jail if I gave my kids anything but whole milk before they turned two. After all juice is evil and developes bad eating habits they say. After age two the whole milk was to be dropped immediately and switched to skim or I think the kid was going to die immediately or something. I just wish all these educated doctors etc. would get their act together and agree on something some time. I'm really sick of swinging back and forth.

"Anyone who would suggest that milk is unhealthy for kids is out to lunch,"
So sorry to be branded as insane, but ordinary commercial milk is full of artificial growth hormones given to the cow to cause it to produce more milk. It caused symptoms of puberty in my 8 year old daughter. The symptoms went away when we switched to strictly organic milk.
Milk is also highly allergenic, and is associated with both Type 1 childhood diabetes onset ( especially when given to infants ), and also multiple sclerosis in adults. This is peer-reviewed, published science, and if the milk industry doesn't like it that's just too bad for them.
The healthiest things to drink are water, green tea, and diluted fruit juice. Healthwise, cows milk is really only an ideal food for baby cows.

It's interesting - I read somewhere that about 70% of Caucasians can digest milk, but about 70% of African-Americans cannot. Schools that force milk on kids are asking for a lot of upset tummies every afternoon.
