I just told my son about 4J's new milk ban. He did not like the idea, and wanted to be able to share his 2¢ with them. Matthew is an incoming second-grader to Howard Elementary.

At first, I was somewhat happy with 4J's plan to ban chocolate milk. After this video, I did some more research because I just wasn't quite sure where I stood on the matter. However, I've now decided that 4J should leave chocolate milk as an option

I would like to see an overall shift to healthier meals in school lunches. At home I have to serve vegetables to my kids, as they won't normally chose them on their own. The schools need to do this also if they want kids to eat them.

I think that 4J does a decent job with their school lunches, but there is a LOT of room for improvement still. However, IMO getting rid of chocolate milk isn't going to make that improvement.

BTW - We have juice for breakfast, (white) milk for lunch and dinner, and water at any time in-between. Servings are 6-7 ounces, with maybe another 4-ish ounces as a refill (usually only on the milk).

We do have chocolate milk occasionally at home. But we treat it as a "sometimes food" (that is a food that we limit how much we have because it isn't as healthy as other options)
