Tiffany utilized a "Come and Take It" sign while introducing an amendment that would ensure children retain "access to delicious and nutritious" flavored milks.
Seems like to make any kind of sense we’d have to accurately define “healthy”. Foods are healthy or unhealthy in context for the most part.
Is chocolate milk “unhealthy” compared to water? Depends what you’re looking for, it has added sugar but also provides solid macros and decent amounts of vitamins.
Sure, and I agree with your premise, but at that point, why not just drink plain milk? The added sugar is superfluous on top of the lactose (plus, we haven’t even covered the extra processing of the chocolate or artificial flavors that are all too common in American prepackaged foods).
But whatever the case, the politician making this “stand” isn’t doing it because he wants to ensure kids get the macros they need; he’s in the pocket of dairy lobbyists.
