One hopes that the kids will continue to be given a choice so that those who actually like fat free or 1% milk can continue to get what they like.

Among the rest, at least a few of the kids sometimes have whole milk at home and know the difference between watery tasteless fat free stuff and real milk. If those few start asking for whole milk and enthusiastically drinking it, maybe their friends will notice and follow suit....and at least give the "new" milk options a try.

More and more studies are showing that kids who drink whole milk have lower BMIs and higher levels of vitamin D than those who drink fat-free or 1% milk.

Unfortunately, the Obama led legislation that led to only skim milk or 1% milk being offered on school lunches was another example of governmental good intentions going awry.
