Props too, look at the Enterprise D in 4k and it looks way more fake than it did on the old CRT. The blemishes that give it away blur together to make it look way better on screen. Watch Adam Savage's Tested - The Next Generation Filming Model! if you'd like to know more.
Is chocolate milk really that much less healthy than regular 2% milk? AFAICT they are basically the same, with the former having an extra 5g or so of added sugar per 8oz glass. It’s much better for you than, say, apple juice which is almost entirely just sugar.
Milk should just not be given to children at all in school. I don’t understand why we can’t have kids drink just fucking water. We shouldn’t be encouraging kids to drink sugary anything.
Calcium and protein can come from so many other sources. I never understood milk as a lunch drink option as a kid and I don’t understand it now.
While I support having better access to water for everyone, milk is generally accepted by many kids, even picky ones.
Additionally, milk does provide an opportunity to provide a minimal amount of additional vitamins for growing kids as well, mainly calcium for accident prone kids. This is likely more important for kids who aren't getting fed properly at home. Kids need a ton of energy and chemicals to grow properly, no doubt.
It absolutely is not a superfood. There ain't nothing magical about it, regardless of how many milk commercials you saw growing up. For adults, there isn't much of a benefit unless your body actually needs those vitamins.
Disclaimer: I absolutely detest adults who swear by taking handfuls of vitamins for no reason. Vitamin deficiencies are real and if you have one, you need to be working with a doctor and not with some jackass at a supplement store.
It is a easy way to insure that the kids get access to some healthy nutrition. Youd be amazed and appalled by how much shit some children are fed at home.
What the fuck are you talking about milk is amazing. Look at the macros and you quickly realize it is exactly what kids need. Milk fat protein and sugars all natural.
It arguably had more protein than almost any other school food.
i'm actually not upset by this in the least, this is exactly the kind of bullshit a Congressman is supposed to get up to for his district.. we should be arguing over whether chocolate milk is really healthy, and not whether we should have laws and a government..
But it isn't. We know it isn't. There's no debate to be had. We were lied to by a relentless dairy industry that lobbied Congress in to making sure we were all told more milk all the time and as it turns out, at best milk has no benefits at all, and may be slightly bad for you. And flavored milks are just fucking loaded with sugar. But see the sugar industry also did some lobbying and 60 years ago some idiot congressmen were convinced that dietary fat is the problem so they started taking the fat out of foods and replacing it with sugar. And lo and behold diabetes went from a rare, 1 in 10,000 adults to fucking 1 in 10.
The US population is fat, sick, and dying younger than the previous generation, and it's due in part to assholes like this.
