On Sunday, there was a party at my house, and one of my friends who attended was a pediatrician at Kaiser Santa Clara, which is the closest major doctor's office near Sutter. I thought this was a great opportunity for Jacob to ask my friend for his support toward his chocolate milk campaign. I was terribly shocked to hear that my pediatrician friend who against bringing chocolate milk back to school. His only reason was because of the childhood obesity epidemic. I still believe that reasoning is ridiculous. Here are my reasons.
1. chocolate milk has been around long before the childhood obesity epidemic
2. kids are not drinking milk at all now that they don't have achoice, so they're losing out on calcium and vitamin D ( 1 in 5 kids have rickets)
3. my friend mentioned that kids can get their calcium from othersources, like cheese and vegetables, but I said that the school is not providing enough of that
4. my friend mentioned that concerned parents like me could give my kids chocoloate milk after school, but I was saying that when I was on free lunch growing up, my mom didn't buy milk for us at home. Also, I want my kids to drink milk at lunch time.
5. It's the cheetos, soda, and lack of exercise making kids obese, not chocolate milk.
6. the school is still serving juice which is RIDICULOUS
