The Trump administration is ending yet another of Michelle Obama’s hated, overly strict school lunch rules by bringing chocolate milk back to school lunch menus.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Thursday announced a new rule set to take effect on July 1 after the period of public comment. The new rule relaxes sodium limits and Obama’s whole-grain requirements. The rule will also allow milk with one percent fat back on the menu, ABC News reported.
“Schools need flexibility in menu planning so they can serve nutritious and appealing meals,” Perdue said this week. “Schools want to offer food that students actually want to eat. It doesn’t do any good to serve nutritious meals if they wind up in the trash can.”
Perdue has been dismissing Michelle Obama’s signature school lunch rules all year.

We should start calling it “Trump Milk”. Kinda like when we had “Freedom Fries”...
WINNING!!!
My kid and I recently joined a kickboxing gym and the workouts are intense. The instructor told us that the best thing to put in your body after the workout is protein and real sugar.
Guess what was suggested?
Chocolate milk!
Two decades ago I took early retirement and got caught up on the fly fishing I had missed since my teen years.
I walked up down hills for about 3 miles twice a day to get my legs in shape. I had a low bp and 65 pulse rate during and after the walk.
Still, after about an hour into wading in fairly fast water, I got severe leg cramps from the knees down.
One day after the cramps got me out the water and I was sitting down rubbing my legs. A nice guy came up asked if I was okay. I explained about the recurring cramps.
He identified himself as sports medicine doc at the nearby medical school/hospital.
Then, he asked me how much milk I drank a day. I said basically none. He went to his vehicle and brought out 2- 16 ounce bottles of Chocolate Milk. He told me to drink one bottle and walk. If I didn’t feel better to drink the second bottle. If I felt okay, I could go back in the water.
In about 30 minutes, I waded back into the river. He watched me, and when I came out, he said, “Drink your chocolate milk before wading, while wading and when you start driving home.
He suggested 3 calcium tablets with zinc each day. If I forget the tablets at night, I have cramps that night.
The good doc explained to me with all the diet bs, most adults and many teens don’t drink milk or not enough. He had the same problem with cramps while wading, and a medical peer told him to drink the chocolate milk.
Once he started his chocolate milk regimen, before, during and after wading while fly fishing, he never had cramps nor did his patients and friends.
A few weeks, later I put his regimen to a hard test. I went Shad fishing with a group of fly fishers on the Yuba river.
The guides would drop you off by boat and come back at noon for lunch and take those who were ready to go home back to their cars. Then, at about 4 pm, they came back and picked the rest of us up and took us back to our vehicles.
The river was running fast, deep and very cold. I fished all day and never got a cramp thanks to 4 bottles of chocolate milk.
I never got any cramps and several of the other guys did.
One was/is a personal friend as well as a fellow fisher.
The next time he picked me up for a fly fishing day trip, he had a cooler loaded with 16 ounce Chocolate milk bottles. When I got in his truck, he handed me a bottle and said the Chocolate milk was on him for the great medical advice.
He comes back with donuts and a half a gallon of chocolate milk. He’s 60.
Walmart sells a really good Chocolate Milk in a half gallon. It is labeled DariGold.
We really stock up with the DariGold, when the family, adults and teens visit.
GOOD!!!!!!!
NOW GET RID OF THE ‘FREAKIN POST OFFICE AND LET UNITED PARCEL SERVICE DO ITS JOB RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yay chocolate milk!
Make ‘em eat goulash!
Wincey Libtard Beta Male Cuck Soy Boy: I don’t drink Chocolate Milk because it is made from animal cruelty and chocolate is harvested by exploiting people in Africa. I drink SOY milk sweetened with Carob. It is so good for me that I grew man-boobs.
Drumpfpfpf is finished because he brought back chocolate milk, it’s an impeachable offense!! REEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
[ Yay chocolate milk! ]
It is a hell of a lot better for children than SOY Milk!
We had pasta parties the night before they competed.
Now this is progress!
I would now greatly appreciate it if I could buy 100 watt incandescent light bulbs again.
Great story! Honestly, the workout right after this advise worked like a charm! I try to limit sugars as much as possible but will find the room in my diet for a chocolate milk after each workout.
Michelle Obama can stuff it.
I now sub at a school where I taught for many years. The school lunches used to be pretty good, but with the advent of Michelle Obama’s recipes, things went downhill pretty fast. The cooks used to make the best rolls, but then they had to change to wheat flour. Wheat noodles for spaghetti that have the color of dried mud. The wheat flour gives the same mud color to tortillas. And then there’s the saltines to go with soup or chili. No flavor, no crunch, instead of adding they detract from the meal.
To give the cooks credit, they did not cut down on portion size, but I believe they are forbidden to offers seconds if there happens to be food left over. And of course, the amount of food waste has doubled. More winning!
Some fat is needed to make the calcium in milk bioavailable. Otherwise there is some calcium absorption problem. But then Moochelle is an expert on child nutrition. Just as Elena Ceaucescu was an expert on polymers.
What business does the federal government have in having any regulations concerning school lunches?
I wished that I had known about chocolate milk decades ago.
If anyone is looking to cut sugars from the milk they drink, try Fairlife chocolate. More protein less fat and sugars. All the taste and very creamy. A little pricy but worth it!
No, I am not a Fairlife spokesbabe! Lol!
If you burn it off, why not? Pump out 50 laps, doing the butterfly stroke, and you will be shy some quick kilo-calories.
However, if you are sitting on your ass all day, every day, and scarfing down ice cream, there MIGHT be some long term penalties.
