Got (Chocolate) Milk?


The National Dairy Council's Raise Your Hand For Chocolate Milk Campaign was launched today, amid controversy.

Physicians, nutritionists, and parents are divided on the issue of serving chocolate milk in the public school system.

Some say that it is a great way to get kids to get the 9 essential nutrients that milk offers, while opponents argue that chocolate milk make it a less-healthy choice because the added calories and sugar "could add up to 5 pounds of weight gain over the 180-day school year."

Are the nutrients worth the extra calories? What do you think?
