Tiffany utilized a "Come and Take It" sign while introducing an amendment that would ensure children retain "access to delicious and nutritious" flavored milks.

    Curious was the data say on the topic. I can see flavored milk being more appealing than unflavored, and encouraging kids to drink it.

    Obviously added sugar isn’t great, but what is the net effect on health, in regards to the community as a whole?

    What are the alternative drink choices? Fruit juice? Water? Just white milk?

      Kids don’t need milk. After infancy you do not require dairy and during it your best option is human milk.

      Any food without added sugar will be healthier than those with.

        What’s a good alternate drink to offer kids (other than water)? You don’t NEED milk of course, but the goal is to provide nutrition and something they will actually eat/drink.

          Milk itself is fine. The post I replied to made it sound like we need kids drinking milk and we don’t.
