Kids don't need milk. After infancy you do not require dairy and during it your best option is human milk.
Any food without added sugar will be healthier than those with.
What's a good alternate drink to offer kids (other than water)? You don't NEED milk of course, but the goal is to provide nutrition and something they will actually eat/drink.
Why do you need to offer something besides water? Aside from which, there are plenty of alternatives. Herbal teas, seltzers, etc.
Were you never a kid, or...?
Those elementary kids sure do love unsweetened herbal teas
Milk itself is fine. The post I replied to made it sound like we need kids drinking milk and we don't.
No, they asked the same question I did. What's the answer?
Water then
If our schools were not captured by business interests, they ought to be doing things to actively discourage kids from drinking milk. Unfortunately, we still have so many adults that think milk is a health drink. But that's the idea of the captives held in schools.
No, they would not discourage that as some kids need the calcium from milk because they do not eat green veggies enough.
Milk can be a healthy drink but it should not be your primary drink.
Milk and dairy in general are far too unhealthy for me to consider them something we should be pushing kids to drink. There are much better sources for things like calcium.
Source on better sources for calcium than dairy? Remember bioavailability of the calcium is going to be a more important factor than the amount of calcium present.
Why would milk be actively discouraged? Maybe for ethical reasons, but health wise what do you think is wrong with drinking milk?
A lot. Take a close look for yourself. No way we should be pushing that on kids - so they get a lifetime of chronic diseases that are brought about/made worse by things like milk. Unfortunately, there is a lot of active disinfo being carried out against adults and children in this country when it comes to nutrition. Drink milk for "health" and make sure to get as much "protein" (via unhealthy animal flesh) as possible, it will be good for you....
