Oh... the chocolate milk they serve in schools is always almost always 2%. The butterfat content that isn't needed to bribe kids into drinking is worth more elsewhere. Alti can tell you all about the economics of butterfat content. When he talks about cows, dairy farming, or milk he is a knowledgeable, sustainable, best practices farmer. People would freak the *** out. *** cow dominated drink markets
Offering soy or almond milk for lunch in school would have really cut back on that uncomfortable 6th period gas.

My high school sold cookies that were something like 6" across. That beats the hell out of a carton of chocolate milk, I know that. As for trans fats, they largely are banned. They're not obesity-inducing, though, but rather carcinogenic. Didn't I say: Quote: Without also causing a cluster *** of debate on HFCS Cerberus.Anjisnu said: » *** cow dominated drink markets Don't blame the cows. They are victims in all of this! When asked for a quote from CNN a cow spokeswoman replied "Moo."

Almond milk is meh and is awkwardly thick, the vanilla/chocolate flavored stuff is pretty good though. And soy milk sucks worse than skim milk. i really just hate cows to me they just seem like fat unfun horses

Shiva.Onorgul said: » Bahamut.Baconwrap said: » Quetzalcoatl.Kenrusai said: » Whole milk (which I assume was the kind of milk used in the chocolate milk) contains quite alot of calories. For a nation trying to lower it's obesity rate, it just surprised me they would even serve this, let alone chocolate milk. I'm aware of the nutritional values, but they're likely having a good amount for breakfast anyway. Milk was never served in any school I went to, and money wasn't the reason. My school served 1% and 2%. Whole Milk was never offered at my HS. The effort of banning chocolate milk, would be far more beneficial at educating K-12 on proper portion control. This pyramid is what got American K-12 fat. It is one of the worst mistakes of the public health K-12 education. It for decades never specified the ounces of each serving.... In fairness these days.... with the way beef/pork prices are... may have to eat more bread products... $5.50/pd for beef and pork is nuts Cerberus.Pleebo said: » Offering soy or almond milk for lunch in school would have really cut back on that uncomfortable 6th period gas.

Had a couple glasses when I was at my friends house and I missed it so much.
Well water (what I have) sucks so much.

Don't get me wrong, I like wheat and, indeed, bake my own bread and make my own pizza dough (among many other things), but a few days of the stuff is enough to make my guts tie in knots and it's not because I have any kind of gluten allergy or sensitivity.

Another thing I suspect only Alti and I here know. I can't eat eggs anymore, even though they used to be a staple of my diet.
If I eat eggs now, I get the shits, just like eating things with too much grease. Just I figured out the grease thing way before I figured out that it was eggs that was making me sick when I was going to IHOP, not IHOP itself (even though it could have been sometimes). Even boiled in the shell Jet?
Garuda.Chanti said: » None of it compares to the taste of real milk, either raw or only pasteurized. And the cow milk stuff you can buy in supermarkets doesn't either. Another thing I suspect only Alti and I here know. Garuda.Chanti said: » Even boiled in the shell Jet? Makes me sad, used to eat a dozen eggs at a time growing up and was skinny as hell... I too am lactose intolerant (didn't make the connection until I was in college, but was able to drink 2% milk with little issues, I can't do that now), but I love dairy WAY too much to give it up entirely, so I have one cup a day (if that), for cereal. I have ice cream like once every few months. I'm trying to get my husband to transition over to almond milk, which tastes good to me (better than soy milk), but my daughter wants NO part in it. At all. She actually KNOWS that I'm giving her almond milk and pours it in the sink. Mind you, she's not even 3 yet.
As for banning chocolate milk: I was in a school that served chocolate milk, whole milk, and skim milk. The chocolate milk was low-fat (think it was 2%). I used to drink the chocolate milk, but then only drank milk with cereal and sweet things like cookies. So instead I had a box of juice with me. I actually used to take my own lunch from home because everything else BUT the milk tasted like *** (other than the chicken nuggets, but those were popular and were gone fast as hell). Regular white milk actually just tastes bland. Of course kids ain't gonna touch it. And skim milk is even worse; I don't know of any adult who actually likes the taste of it, let alone a kid. I hate drinking water. I drink a couple of cups a day, but I usually spritz it with a water enhancer, because our regular water over here tastes HORRIBLE. And those filters are kinda expensive, although I would've loved one for a Christmas present. Although, I LOVE water when it's iced over and it has ice cubes and icicles in it. LOVE IT. But otherwise, *** water. Oh and someone mentioned iceberg lettuce a few pages back: dunno why that even exists. No amount of dressing can make that ***taste good. Odin.Godofgods

Terrah Crystal said: » In fairness these days.... with the way beef/pork prices are... may have to eat more bread products... $5.50/pd for beef and pork is nuts My husband and I went food shopping today, and we picked up a package of pork for less than $2.50 a pound. Turkey was about 4 bucks a pound. Beef was the most expensive. Can't remember how much exactly, but yeah. I live in the Midwest, though so that might be it. I'm not sure of the prices off the top of my head but due to my location, I imagine poultry would probably be the cheapest around here.

And those filters are kinda expensive, although I would've loved one for a Christmas present. Actually, the whole reason I got the filtered pitcher was for cooking. Baking can go very wrong if water tastes bad or, worse yet, still has the kinds of chemicals present that will kill off my poor yeast. Yeah, for as much water as you can get out of each filter, the price is extremely economical. Not drinking adequate amounts of water really does a great disservice to your body. I live in the desert so I'm constantly lugging around my Nalgene bottle so I don't feel like a mummified husk all the time. That alone is worth the constant trips to the bathroom!
