In some misguided attempt to stop childhood obesity, Florida could be the first state in the union to ban chocolate milk in public schools.
Are we crazy?
I can understand banning Classic Coke.
Here are the facts. Chocolate milk is good for you. Some studies show that when milk and chocolate are combined the nutritional benefits of each doubles.
It's rich in protein, calcium, vitamin-D and other good stuff. A glass of reduced fat chocolate milk (which is how it usually comes) has 160 calories.
Michael Phelps drinks chocolate milk to recover after a swim.
So drink up kids. I think I'll have a glass myself.
