Parent’s Argue For Chocolate Milk

I am a firm believer in Jamie Oliver’s crusade against poor nutrition in this country.  He has fully exposed some of the education systems poor lunch options.  I understand that a school must work within a budget and health standards, however, feeding our kids high sugar and high fat diets without proper exercise is a recipe for disaster.  However, some parents are arguing for the opposite.  Some parents say that flavored foods such as milk and cereal is the only way that their kids would eat anything remotely ‘healthy’.  Now, if it comes to the point where your children will only eat nutritious foods with a table spoon of sugar might suggest that their is something wrong with that.  I also understand that being a parent is also tough, but nobody said life would be easy.  A child should know what to eat and that it should be healthy.
