Chocolate Milk Should Stay In Schools

Mrs. Rally, a lunch lady at a local elementary said “We serve six or seven cartons of chocolate for each one of white milk at lunch.” So why would we get rid of chocolate milk if it is choosen 6 to 1 to white milk?

Also most kids don’t go “look chocolate milk has a lot of sugar, I want that!”

But that’s not all do you ever come in from recess after that intense game of foursquare and need something to drink. Your only options are white milk, chocolate milk, juice boxes, and a bottle of water. Water will hydrate you. Juice boxes will give you a bunch of sugar. White milk is ok. Your best option though would be chocolate milk because it has so much protein and repairs you sore achy muscles.

Also chocolate milk is referred to professional athletes. Milk unleashed stated, “ Chocolate milk has been preferred more than sports drinks for Olympians and amateur athletes.” This just proves how much we need chocolate milk in our schools because if professional athletes have it so should
