Food Banning in Schools

 They’re at it again. Food activists have decided to once more campaign for a nationwide ban on serving chocolate milk in school cafeterias, stating that chocolate milk is a large part of the nation’s obesity problem. Never mind that public health officials and pediatricians have not established a concrete connection between chocolate milk and childhood obesity. Apparently that doesn’t matter to this particular breed of food activists. In fact they would prefer that parents give their children calcium in pill form rather than chocolate milk; heaven forbid anyone should actually enjoy their food. If they are successful in removing chocolate milk from school cafeterias, what is next, ketchup, kids like it and it has added sugars. Maybe additional salt, butter, mayo, syrup, jellies, barbecue sauce, the list could be endless. Stands to reason that if food activists are triumphant in banning chocolate milk, all of the afore mentioned will be fair game. If the next step for parents is to have to send their children with bagged lunches instead of paying for school lunches, will the banning of certain foods on school property be all that far behind?
