The value of milk on the menu

A study showed eliminating flavored milk from elementary schools resulted in a dramatic

drop in milk consumption (35%). 1

It can be difficult and expensive to replace the nutrients lost from decreased milk intake in

school meals.

o Even if a lunch included orange juice fortified with calcium and vitamin D, a school

would still need to add cup of diced cantaloupe, 3.5 ounces of apple with skin and

cup of cooked baked beans to a childs meal just to make up the nutrients lost in

one glass of milk.

o And, those additional foods add 171 more calories to a childs diet than simply

drinking chocolate milk.
