And that's going to dictate nationwide purchasing policies for things the the 30 million school lunch meals, million prisoners...

This is worth millions of dollars a day and we're sold it as common wisdom from the mom and pop country doctor.

Kids in the US will no longer be served reheated pizza and chocolate milk?

Whatever the incentives, go for it

[genewitch]

the rectangular pizzas were never "reheated". i have copies of the recipe cards to make enough trays of pizza to feed a school using the industrial kitchen appliances they have in schools.

and whatever your issue is with chocolate milk, can you link a recent survey that shows the percentage of say, americans, that have had 1 or more glasses of water in the last month? a glass being at least 8floz (1/4 liter or so)

i'm leaning toward "most people don't drink enough, if any, water; furthermore most people are probably varying levels of dehydrated", at least in the US. The fad of carrying water with you everywhere was lambasted into obscurity, at least in the american south. Anecdotally, many people have told me they drink 64 ounces a day, because diet coke counts and so does beer.

that a kid is getting a fortified delicious drink they enjoy is fine by me.

In a lot of schools "industrial equipment" is used to reheat frozen foods.

As for chicolate milk: there's probably as much added sugar in it as in a can of Cola. Definitely not something kids should consume daily.

>As for chicolate milk: there's probably as much added sugar in it as in a can of Cola

There's no way this is true, so I looked up nutrition facts-

A 12oz can of coke has 39g added sugars and chocolate milk has 6 grams added sugars for the small cartons they have at schools.

This is the first chocolate milk I found - https://www.kleinpeterdairy.com/products/fresh-delicious-mil...

In other words, coke has more than six times the added sugar as chocolate milk in containers that they are readily available in.

Btw, Mountain Dew has 46 grams sugar per can.

According to https://www.usdairy.com/news-articles/how-much-sugar-is-in-m...

Milk Sugar Content (per 8 oz. serving): 24 grams sugar (12 grams natural sugar, 12 grams added sugar)

According to https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/eat-well/food-types/how-does-su...:

    Adults should have no more than 30g of free sugars a day,
    (roughly equivalent to 7 sugar cubes).

    Children aged 7 to 10 should have no more than 24g
    of free sugars a day (6 sugar cubes).

So one small carton they have at school has 30% of an adult's daily intake of added sugar.

What's your point? What does that have anything to do with the comment you're responding to?
