Chocolate Milk Should Stay In Schools

As kids just about everybody enjoyed that sweet tasting drink, chocolate milk. Today even adults enjoy the drink. Why do so many people of all ages appreciate the taste? Probably because its chocolate and milk combined, so whats not to like! Chocolate milk has been around since the early 1700s when it first saw the light of day in Jamaica, but Purity’s brand has been around since 1946 with its headquarters being in Nashville Tennessee. The time between the 1700s to 2016 the taste has not changed very much, but the products ingredients have changed. Although Purity's chocolate milk is a tasty drink, the ingredients in the packaging as well as the milk itself may raise suspicion, or concern, if one is following Michael Pollan’s food rules

Chocolate milk is detrimental because children could get diabetes from it. Los Angeles School District states that “Thirty percent of kids obese on track to diabetes from chocolate milk.” This proves that Chocolate milk should not be allowed to be served in schools because of how bad it is to you. This shows you that kids can get diabetes from chocolate milk

Some people think that schools should offer only nutritious drinks such as white milk, water, and natural fruit juice and situationally, I agree with this policy. I believe only offering healthy drinks will be a great impact on our schools today. For instance, caffeine drinks can cause children in today's schools to become obese, which will cause children to live an unhealthy lifestyle when they grow older. Caffeine drinks can cause insomnia in children. Insomnia is a sleep disorder, for example, it will not allow children to sleep properly. Caffeine drinks will not give children's bones the nutrition that they need. However, serving nutritious drinks in our school cafeteria can be the solution to all of these brutal conflicts.

‘Milk and dairy products are an important part of a child's diet. They are a good source of energy and protein, and contain a wide range of vitamins and minerals. They are rich in calcium, which growing children and young people need to build healthy bones and teeth.’- www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Goodfood

Everyone loves sugar filled snacks, especially children. A kid’s day can be made so much better just by handing them their favorite candy bar. This is something students looked forward to during their school day. Sadly, this was made to change. Schools started banning snacks, and drinks based on their unhealthy effect they have on individuals. According to Beverly Ballaro and Ann Griswold in "Junk Food in Schools: An Overview,” this change occurred when Michelle Obama launched her project for healthy eating in 2010. Let’s Move! Was her way to fix child obesity in America. This directed schools to feed children healthier options, and twice as many vegetables or fruit. This was not a necessity for public schools across the United States. Students should not be limited to what they eat in school. As long as they are being fed their basic lunch, it should not be important what they decide to snack on.

Chocolate milk is a sugary drink, it’s unhealthy, and most definitely worse than regular milk. I’m Sofia, and I believe chocolate milk should not be served in schools.

Chocolate milk shouldn’t be banned because it has things children need to grow big and strong. “Flavored milk is far less sugary and tends to have fewer calories and more nutrition than beverages like soda,” said Keith Ayoob associate clinical professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the Albert Einstein School of Medicine in New York City. In addition a survey of 58 Elementary and secondary schools across the country that removed chocolate version of moo juice from cafeterias for 2 years and offered only white milk version found a 32 - 64% drop in the amount kids drink depending on the grade, in part because they stop fully draining the carton. These examples explain that chocolate milk has benefits to it and a lot of kids only like chocolate

Another reason is that the health benefits of chocolate are that it can reduce the risks of stroke and reduces the risk of heart attacks. -Katherine Zeratsky

More interestingly, the students who take part in college athletics often struggle to make ends meet (Smith & Martin, 2015). The challenging economic times in the country coupled with the pressures of being a college athlete place immense financial stress on the students. First, the training and exercises are strenuous and require the students to eat well. Relying on the college meals is expose the athletes to hunger. Most of the players would need money to complement the meals thereby replenishing their energy and body fat. Similarly, the student-athletes often attend dinners and galas that require them to dress well in suits and tuxedos. The inability to afford

When you come back from a long day of training either it be for basketball, football, baseball, or really any sport. You are hungry and want to eat something good because you worked hard all day. Not just on days that you are training but when you get done with a game, match, or a race you want reward yourself. The main problem that college student-athletes have with rewarding themselves is that they don’t have any money most of the time. Knowing that they already have to pay for tuition, books, and housing if they live in the dorms. Yes, students get grants, and scholarships but what about the students that don’t get grants or scholarships? Being a student-athletes is the hardest job for anyone else at the college. Most sports practice are early in the morning and students either have to eat a quick breakfast or they don’t eat at all, and still have to manage to stay awake in class and stay focused. Also

When dealing with NJC, community members occasionally give snacks to the programs, but they are unable to keep this up, due to money and age. This is where the athletic department would need to step in and take over. For short term solutions, the athletic department can continue to have community members provide snacks. Furthermore, parents of the community offer home cooked meals for student-athletes which help balance their diets nutritionally. “Colleges financial re-sources (for athletics) may be limited, so they may have to fundraise” (Fox). This is where programs might need to fundraise some money, or find a way for the institution to provide some extra money to the sport in order to provide snacks for

Even though something my taste good, it may not be healthy. I agree with schools only selling healthy drinks like water, white milk, and natural juices. My first and most important reason is health. The second reason is hyperactivity. My last reason is because of the cost. As can be seen, I agree with schools only offering healthy, natural drinks like water, white milk, and natural juices.
