Some people I swear...Quote:
MINNETONKA, Minn. - While many may remember their school cafeteria’s chocolate milk day with fondness, some are pushing to take it away -- and they may have good reason.
Maybe if elementary schools didn't eliminate/reduce recess time, the kids would have a chance to burn off the extra sugar and calories they get from chocolate milk.
This is some bullshit right here. Chocolate milk is a great drink.
Kids are too fat and they shouldn't be allowed to enjoy anything about their childhood. Good job, Minnetonka. Also, you sound like a made up place.
Kids are fat because of parents, not because of chocolate milk.
Yeah, because of parents feeding their kids chocolate milk.
lol
seriously though, chocolate milk is not the root of the problem. In fact, when consumed following a workout, chocolate milk functions similarly to a protein shake if you're in a pinch.
I don't really think chocolate milk is the problem.
Maybe these soccer moms should consider how they're living in housing developments with no sidewalks and nothing in walking distance of their houses other than a hellish wasteland of houses identical to theirs so their children have little motivation or reason to walk.
Or how they all won't let their children leave the house because they're all so paranoid that their children will be abducted as though childhood abductions have spiked in numbers even though all that's risen is parental paranoia.
Yes, refined sugar is downright poisonous, I'll admit it. But kids drank chocolate milk for most of the last century without outbreaks of childhood obesity. While our "knowledge" of nutrition science is increasing, our food is degrading in quality and nutrition. More importantly, the amount of physical activity is decreasing.
Frankly, American diets weren't great to being with. Polynesians are a great example of this: they were sexy before they adopted American diets in the early to mid 20th century. Afterwards, they became huge overnight. I'm just saying that things were bad enough before even though we didn't have such a huge epidemic of obesity, and now we're only making them worse and pushing ourselves way over the edge. And as convenient a scapegoat for brain-dead parents it is, chocolate milk isn't what's causing the problem.
I wouldn't call refined sugar poison, it is more like alcohol. When used responsibly it is awesome, when not used responsibly you end up with something you don't want inside of you. Fat for sugar, wieners for alcohol.
Otherwise I agree with all that.
chocolate milk is delicious and if shit like this keeps happening there's going to be nothing delicious left after 2012's earth explosion
i think yuppies will get instantly vaporized and cool people like us will stick around
with no chocolate milk
It's okay, we'll just make chocolate milk ourselves.
You just add chocolate to milk, right?
Just like how peanut butter is just peanuts blended with butter?
Eh, alcohol is a poison too, more or less, or at least I would classify it as such. I still consume alcohol, of course, and frankly I consume way, way too much refined sugar in my diet. I know it.Quote:

Yeah alcohol is definitely poison
