In New York Schools, Whole Milk Is Cast From the Menu

This story in the New York Times annoys me so much. As if it were the milk that’s the problem, and not the corporate-sponsored lunches and vending machines and snack bars full of sugary drinks and junk food.

A few weeks back, there was another story about bodegas trying to promote healthier diets…by advocating skim milk. Not warning against Funyons or King Size Reese’s Cups. Just milk.

It’s all brilliantly capped by the February 5 headline in the Times, on the front page, above the fold, no less: Low-Fat Diet Does Not Cut Health Risks, Study Finds.

Funny how I just feel righter and righter every day.
