One Heck of a Healthy Junk Food

One Heck of a Healthy Junk Food

Would any rational person consider milk a junk food? No, I didn't think so. And before you ask why I would even ask such a preposterous question I'll tell you. Because the PCRM, that phony physicians committee for supposed responsible medicine, and cover front for animal rights activists, included whole milk on their Halloween scare list of junk foods targeting kids. Other members of their list were foods normally considered as junk food, candy, pop, and chips, but milk? Perhaps they were sitting around one day throwing out possible ways to get themselves media attention and the idea to throw a nutritious food item under the bus as junk food seemed like the best way to accomplish that. While some nutritionists have suggested that schools serve one or two percent milk in place of whole milk, they have not, do not, and would not put milk in the junk food category. Milk is listed as a recommended daily dietary requirement with the USDA, due primarily to the simple fact that it's a nutrient rich food which provides calcium, vitamin A, D, protein, and potassium, just to name a few. That's one heck of a healthy junk food.
