I should be very thankful for my son’s pre-school. They only offer plain milk during breakfast time and only water is allowed during lunch. On special fall days they will give each a small cup of apple cider. I used to buy vanilla milk for my 4 yr old for long trips in the car as his drink and I stopped about 10 months ago for the amount of sugar in such a small serving of milk. Thank you so much for posting this!

Thank you so much for writing about the “other side” of dairy. Although I am not entirely anti-dairy, I have chosen not to give my 3.5 year old any dairy products for the reasons you cite above. He’s not a calf, he’s a human being! You provide wonderfully balanced information in a world of heavily influenced media. Kudos to you!

I remember being surprised chocolate milk was an option for my daughter when she started kindergarten last year. AND they also allowed the kids (5 y.o.’s) to pick and choose what from the lunch menu they wanted, the sides, etc. I’m guessing they all picked chocolate milk as their drink! I feel better with her drinking orange juice over chocolate milk. Is that trading one not-so-great for another of the same or making an improvement?

Just wanted to say that I LOVE your cookbook. I watch the videos every week and asked my husband for the cookbook as a birthday gift last month….it is so great!! I love the fact that it’s almost entirely vegetarian and that you include babies, too. Hope you write another one soon. Cheers, Erica Thorne
