Rep. Elise Stefanik, a Republican who represents an upstate NY district replete with dairy farms, introduced a federal bill on Monday to require school systems in the federal lunch program to offer students at least one flavored milk option at meals.
, Adams in his capacity as Brooklyn borough president released a short video called “Chocolate Milk: Do the Math” showing the high levels of sugar found in a carton of chocolate milk.
In the video, Adams poured a glass of murky brown liquid and measured out three spoonfuls of sugar to demonstrate the 11-17 grams of added sugar found in a cup of chocolate milk. “Instead of serving our children beverages that set them up for a lifetime of health problems, we should be encouraging them to drink more water,” Adams said in the video.
The officials argued in the letter that eliminating chocolate milk in schools could drive down consumption of milk overall and increase food waste by kids who won’t want the unflavored kind. “Studies have also shown that flavored milk consumption is not associated with weight gain or even a higher total daily sugar intake in children,” the letter said.
