       Interesting article about how heavy-handed the USDA is in pushing milk into school lunches.All sorts of fascinating tidbits!-  cheese consumption has "skyrocketed" - students need a doctor's note to get a non-dairy milk substitute- a school wouldn't allow a student to promote oat milk without also promoting dairy milk.h/t @jeffjarvis Gift Link: https://wapo.st/450An7R

       @grammargirl @jeffjarvis Only in America! Common sense has been exported and I wonder, will it ever be imported again?

       @grammargirl @jeffjarvis my son has a bit of a sensitivity to milk, it just doesn’t generally agree with him. At one of his recent wellness checks the pediatrician asked how much milk he drinks, we were like “uh, he doesn’t”. Well what do you substitute for it? “Uh, water?” The lady was flabbergasted. Mind you, the kid is in terrific health, energetic as hell, never broken a bone in his life. It’s nuts how hard they push the milk thing.

       @grammargirl @jeffjarvis there was a paper I saw a few years ago in which USDA had something like a $20 million to cut cheese consumption in teenagers, and a $50 million grant to pizza companies to inject cheese into pizza crust. 🤦‍♂️

       @grammargirl @jeffjarvis This is mind-blowing to me and I'm already pretty informed on the issue. Also the whole thing about "best by" dates and having to get dairy products off the shelves way before they've actually expired.

       @grammargirl @jeffjarvis In a developing country like United States milk for growing children is great from a nutritional perspective. But there should be options for those who can’t have it due allergies or beliefs.

       @grammargirl @jeffjarvis I remember being in high school in the mid to late 90s and they were actively promoting sugary sodas in our school. We had pop machines all over the school. No healthy alternatives. Looking back, that's kinda weird.

       @grammargirl @jeffjarvis Very heavy-handed on reimbursed meals. The USDA says: “program operators are not to promote or offer water or any other beverage as an alternative selection to fluid milk in their reimbursable meal throughout the food service area.”

       @grammargirl @jeffjarvis Why do so many ppl assume a government agency knows or cares what’s good for ppl? All government does is distribute money and privileges to some at the expense of others by force. https://www.de-consent.info/what.shtml

       @grammargirl @jeffjarvis Last week I saw a restaurant named Holy Cow. Everything about that name, and what they serve would be illegal in some states. 🐄

       @grammargirl @jeffjarvis @NewsDesk That boggles my mind. So many people are lactose intolerant, have a dairy allergy, are vegan, or have other excellent reasons not to drink milk. 🤦🏻‍♀️
