Do Kids Really Need Milk with their Meal ?
   
the only foods i like to eat milk with is something like cookies which i can eat by putting it in the milk .

but wouldn't water or even flavored water be better for kids in schools ? and maybe yogurt as dessert or a snack to get the dairy requirement.

i thought of this over the debate on school meals and trump wanting to do away with the michelle obama's healthy foods. and sonny perdue saying he needed chocolate milk and wouldn't have gotten his nutrients without it .

3. The only people who should be drinking milk are baby cows

45. Most of my ancestors were ranchers and dairy people, but I'm done with the milk lobby...
 
... and their mutant factory farm cows that get turned into cheap meat and meat-by-products at the end of their miserable "productive" lives.

It's bad for the planet, it bad for human health, and it's ethically indefensible.

Human children don't need to drink cow's milk, and it shouldn't be encouraged at school. (Soda pop and juices are similar horrors...)

I'll confess my own kids frequently had the typical milk, boxed cereal, and orange juice breakfast because it was easy, they could do it themselves, and it was socially accepted.

When I was a kid the only cereals my parents bought were bulk cornflakes and "old fashioned" cook a long time oatmeal. The milk was powdered, and if you mixed it up that morning it tasted of tap water chlorine. (It wasn't so bad if you mixed it the day before and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight, or fermented it into buttermilk.)

My grandparents, who'd experienced the Great Depression, believed that anything other than bacon and eggs and toast for breakfast (eggs fried in bacon fat) was an indication of poverty and deprivation. Eggs and toast was the next tier down, then beans on toast with a bit of bacon fat, and below that, oatmeal with raisins and milk.

As an adult it turns out I'm lactose intolerant. When I was in the hospital last year I was served milk with lunch, and it was the first time I'd had milk in a glass in decades. There were some spectacular consequences, reminiscent of colonoscopy prep. The worst thing about it is that I was under 24/7 observation and allowed very little privacy.

8. There are better ways to get it than saturated fat in dairy
 
After the age of 8 or so, calcium fortified non dairy drinks should be it.

Milk is poison.

13. Evolution engineered milk to put hundreds of pounds on baby calves.

According to population studies it might be one of the most toxic "foods" consumed by humans. All the sex hormones they inject into the cows leave dangerous levels in the milk. Most countries have banned those hormones, but not the good ol' U.S. of A where FDA is at the beck and call of the big money agribusinesses.

And BTW: Populations that drink the most milk have the weakest bones. But of course, since the FDA belongs to the meat and dairy industries, you'll never hear that from the government. And, BTW: the protein casein, found only in dairy products, is "rocket fuel for cancer" as demonstrated by one of the largest population studies of nutrition ever conducted; The China Study.

The question makes as much sense as "Do kids really need rat poison with their meal?"

14. I would say no. I was always forced to drink milk at dinner and I hated it!

Sometimes, if my mother would leave to go into the kitchen, my dad would be a good sport and drink my milk for me while she was gone. Otherwise, I would just hold my breath and chug it so I wouldn't have to taste it. I thought it was vile. Water is the best drink, I think. And it's free. As long as you don't have a poisoned water source. I still drink a ton of water every day, but I haven't had milk since I left home to go to college.

36. My Chinese coworker said I smelled like butter and they hate that... I thought it was
 
Interesting because she used to microwave fish for lunch every ****ing day and the whole place smelled horrible because of that... but I smelled like butter? LOL.

I think you overheard him calling you a "butter face" and couldn't correctly process the reference.

In response to a post stating nothing more than "Calcium" we read:

49. Leafy greens, seafood, legumes, and fruit.

People who eat an ordinary diet that includes these basics (for example, many traditional Mediterranean and Asian cuisines) don't suffer calcium deficiencies even when the measured calcium levels of the total diet seem low.

Homeostatic Regulation of Calcium (Vitamin D plays a part in this) is not a trivial matter of eating more calcium to maintain levels.

Human breast milk has 79 mg of calcium per cup, cow's milk 300. Not surprisingly, human infants fed human breast milk exclusively do not suffer any calcium deficiencies. Humans are not cows.

Milk can be used as a calcium supplement, but this only matters when the rest of an individual's diet is highly constrained to cereal grains like white rice or wheat flour. In the traditional cuisines of indigenous Americans corn was often treated in various ways with lime, which made up for some of corn's nutritional deficiencies.

There are also foods and beverages that interfere with the absorption or retention of calcium.

I consider the dairy industry's nutritional advertising fraudulent.

 

I wonder how this asshole responded during the 1990 Persian Gulf War when Saddam claimed we bombed a baby milk factory.

The diet of real Mediterranean people, as opposed to either the poverty-stricken beggars or American diet gadflies, has quite a bit of yogurt and cheese made from sheep or goat milk, genius.

Eh! You're just a shill for Big Dairy!

Who we all know is based in Texas cattle country which means it's run by the BFEE which means they faked 9/11 so they could steal Iraq's oil to put in children's milk.

WHY DO YOU HATE CHILDREN!!1!

Oh my.

I see the anti-milk special interests are still alive and well on Skins' island.

Consider the case of Ms. Hindenberg, the defrocked warped primitive "Warpy."

Warpy was born about 1950, and lived the conventional suburban life.  One can see the lilliputian Warpy, as one probably saw many others, begging and pleading to have sugar-laden soda with lunch, rather than healthy wholesome milk.

Her parents, being the commonsensical sort, put their feet down, and continued feeding her milk.

As with most of the conventional homes during the 1950s, early 1960s, Warpy's had a subscription to the Reader's Digest, which she read, and influenced her.

The Reader's Digest was notorious for publishing sensational articles publicizing never-heard-of-before diseases and ailments.

At some time during grade school or pre-puberty, Warpy read an article in the Reader's Digest about lactose "intolerance," and decided she had it; she was "allergic" to milk.

There's no doubt that lactose intolerance exists, but it's among those races and peoples originating closer to the equator than we are.  Warpy is of northern European derivation.

To this day, Warpy's insisted she's "allergic" to milk (but not allergic to things bad for her, such as fistfuls of chocolate bon-bons), despite that it, like so many other ailments and afflictions of the primitives, comes from wishing-it-to-be, not reality.

How dare you call me a shill for the Texas Big Dairy, I am a shill for Wisconsin Big Dairy!     

And it pays very, very well.  In cheese, of course, but very, very well...

  Ummmmmmm ... My daughter lives in a "small town" of about 2.2M in central China. Bovine-sourced dairy products are readily available there. China is too large and regionally varied to make silly generalizations like that, except to those who know nothing but are ready to believe what they want to hear.

More of the usual from the pretentious vegan health nuts on the DUmp.
btw, if President Trump (I bet the DUmmies heads still 'splode from hearing that term) is actually planning to do away with Moo- chelle Obama's so- called "Healthy Kids Initiative" as it pertains to kids' school lunches, I'll freaking salute him for it (And considering I was never that big of a fan of his, that's saying something). That disastrous initiative reduced school lunches from rather unhealthy but satisfying portions of admittedly low- grade food into tiny portions of barely- edible crap (As a substitute teacher who at times had to buy cafeteria food when I didn't have time to pack a lunch, I can personally attest to how awful much of it is) that doesn't even come close to meeting the nutritional or caloric- intake needs of American kids and teens, all the while Moo- chelle's own daughters never had to choke down any of that, instead stuffing their spoiled little faces with huge portions of deluxe gourmet food at their exclusive private school.

"Omnivores: you smell weird and your kids are extra gross."
Vegans: You're a bunch of pretentious, self- righteous, preachy losers who often reek of incense and marijuana, and your kids (Those you haven't aborted, anyway) are rude, spoiled brats who'll each have criminal records a mile long before they even turn 18 thanks to your liberal parenting skills.

100. My mom would send me to school with a bag of her breast milk.
 
All of the other types of milk didn't taste right to me- She did that for 8 years. 

Ummm, not sure if DUmmy is trying to be sarcastic or this is true.  Sadly, there is absolutely no level of bizarre behavior over there that can be easily dismissed.

Damned right about that, sir.

[SVPete]

I have doubts about bathroommonkey76's , unless his/her Mom was nursing an infant. If true, unless the milk was refrigerated, there could have been significant bacteria growth as it came up to room temp.

And seriousness aside, no wonder bathroommonkey76 hasn't grown up!

[USA4ME]

That some libs don't want to drink milk is irrelevant to me. What's notable is the underlying attitude by the modern day political left that says because they believe a certain diet is harmful then the law should punish anyone who disagrees. The totalitarian tendencies of liberalism, something that has historically been a trait of the ideology, has only become more pronounced in the last few decades.
