Schools may ban chocolate milk

[RobK26]

Hmmm, perhaps it's not just the chocolate milk. Perhaps there are other factors, like the parents, the economy, and making healthy choices....


Never mind, it's probably the chocolate milk

 

[CATCH17]

Chocolate Milk got moderated and moved to the obese zone.

 

[Hoofbite]

Considering what they're calling obese, I think we can pretty much call BS on that. I'm considered obese by their standards and I can tell you, while I have a gut, I'm not even fat. Charts and proclamations really shouldn't be enough to simply propagate a thing as evidence.

The definition of obese hasn't changed.

There's no denying that the US is becoming fatter.

 

[trickblue]

I think they should actually seek the advice of a legit nutritionist before doing something incredibly stupid.

Going over your calorie maintenance can be caused by any food. If you go over your calories and don't get enough exercise than youll be fat.

It doesn't matter if your calories come from a Snickers candy bar or apples. Too many calories is too many calories.

The funny thing is that athletic departments are encouraging drinking chocolate milk after workouts if you can't afford "Muscle Milk"...

So one department has documented proof on the benefits of chocolate milk while another thinks it's got too much sugar...

I really hate what our schools have become... it's maddening...

BS.
Even military standards are flawed.
I was considered "overweight" so I had to take the tape test because of my height(5'8") 183 lbs was overweight.
But PT test comes and I score way above average(270).
Maxed sit ups,and scored well above average in the 2 mile run and push ups.
But I was overweight....Not buying it.
None of those stats depicts muscle mass,none.
Muscle is heavier than fat,FACT.

Oh. My. God. You're such a fatty!!! We should have the government FIX YOU!

I imagine recovering from a workout and eating lunch with chocolate milk after sitting in class all day is different...

 

[locked&loaded]

I eat what I want.
I drink what I want.
My choice....I repeat,MY CHOICE.
Eating a tub of butter may hurt me,but it is my personal choice.I decide,not someone else.Will it be wise to eat a tub of butter?
No it is not.Common sense tells me it is not.There is some thought involved in freedom,not dictated orders from those who decided to tell everyone else how to live.I live full,you barely exist.
So screw the nutritionist,and the doctor....3 times.

As long as you pay for your own health insurance, go ahead... fatty

The best thing about this website is being able to put the mouth breathing dip****s on ignore. Some of the people that post here honestly appear to have a sub-80 IQ.

It is my contention that people that put people on ignore, are little wussy girls.

"Oh my it is so dark in my parents basement. Wait a second, someone disagrees with my on the Internet! Ill ignore him, that will show him."

Hasn't changed since when? The CDC uses the same BMI ratio and frankly it's full ****. I'm far from obese, I'm not even fat. I'd wager anyone here go use a BMI calculator will find it the same. If I weighed what they suggest I'd be skeletal. I haven't weighed what they suggest since I was a kid. An exceedingly scrawny kid.

Call something an epidemic and there exists an excuse to create more restrictions for people. I'm not denying our wealthy country doesn't have a lot of fat people, of course it does, but let's not overstate it and act like we're witnessing a scene from Wall-E. If there's anything epidemic it's wide spread gullibility

 

[Temo]

This board sure is rife with amateur nutritionists and statisticians.

I'm a professional statistician, yet have no opinion on this thread. Cookie?

So your contention is that the country's population has been undergoing a dramatic increase in muscle mass over the last couple decades? It's an interesting theory, I'll give you that.

Who thinks the BMI charts are a good, accurate indication of one's health?

Don't insurance companies base their coverage and rates based on the BMI charts?

Insurance companies may do so, I don't know. But that would make sense because it's probably the ONLY proxy they have for obesity. Some proxy may be better than no proxy, even if the proxy is far from perfect.

You know what irritated me?

That Chocolate Milk cost 3 cents compared to 2 cents for Regular Milk when I was in Elementary School.

3 cents eh? Damn you must be old. :laugh2:

Hell, it was .25 cents when i was in elementary school. I think it's only .55 cents for my kids.

I'm 45 and 3 cents was a rip!

We didn't have chocolate milk as an option at my elementary schools. I would bring Nesquik powdered chocolate mix wrapped in foil paper(we didn't have ziploc bags in my day) and make my own chocolate milk.

WTH?!

That blows...on the other hand your school was obviously ahead of it's time.
