US Officials and USDA consider banning chocolate milk in schools to combat childhood obesity.
Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has criticized a proposed ban on chocolate milk in school cafeterias, arguing that it would limit students' access to important nutrients. Stefanik, who represents New York's 21st congressional district, said that chocolate milk is a popular and effective way to encourage children to drink milk, which is an important source of calcium and vitamin D. The proposed ban is part of a wider effort to improve nutrition in schools, but Stefanik argued that it would be counterproductive and could lead to a decrease in milk consumption overall.
