Rex Kickass Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/13374664.htm Cartons of whole milk would be considered junk food, but baked Cheetos would not, under new rules proposed Friday by Illinois education officials.

FlaSoxxJim Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Obviously the milk companies are not giving the kind of kickbacks that Frito-Lay apparently must be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note, maybe if parents made their kids exercise instead of letting them vegetate in front of the TV or video game all day long they would grow up to be fat-bodies.

I agree, and unfortunetly, it's a big problem in L.A. too, and the LAUSD, the biggest farce of a school district in the U.S.A......... :headshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercy! Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Even though this stuff is an easy target for a funny headline, the nutritional principles behind the decision are certainly correct. Except for babies and people with difficulties getting proper nutrition, people who aren’t cruising for all that artery-clogging saturated fat should avoid whole milk. And the difference in fat content between baked versus deep fat fried chips is huge – up to 10 times as much fat for fried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 i've been really getting into soy milk since i've been to college...these pounds packin on are ridiculous... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Ya, I was going to say, whole milk is absolutely awful for the average person (unless your a baby in need of fat). Baked Chips aren't that horrid for you. They aren't good for you, but they are nowhere near what whole milk is. This is coming from someone that drinks skim milk though. I can take 1% milk but anything more than that tastes nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercy! Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I’ve always thought it was kind of weird how humans keep drinking milk even after they’ve been weaned - and from different species of animals to boot. I've tried soy milk maybe once; can't deal with it even though I like other soy products. I’ve never lost my taste for cow's milk, even though I know I could get the nutritional benefits elsewhere. We used to call skim milk “blue milk” when I was a kid. I wonder if they’re putting something in it these days to make its color look more like the full-fat product.

knightni Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I don't ever remember whole milk for sale when I was in school; just 2%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Yeah in all the schools I went to it was only 2%..... and at home I had 1%.... to me whole milk and skim milk both taste disgusting anyways so its all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
