Chocolate Milk | Page 8

My last reason why we should keep chocolate milk is that kid’s love the taste so they drink a lot of it and it is still healthy for them. Also, Melissa Dobbins, registered dietitian with the midwest dairy council and mom said that “Kids who drink chocolate milk don’t consume more added sugar, fat or calories.” This is meaningful because it proves that kids can drink a lot of chocolate milk and still be healthy. Secondly, Melissa Dobbins, registered dietitian with the midwest dairy council and mom states that kids don’t really like white milk, but since chocolate milk is flavorful they drink more of it , when it is just as healthy.A common argument against chocolate milk is on“Ten News” . They interviewed a mom and she said that “They reach for chocolate more often, if you took them of they would reach for white milk!” So she is trying to say that kids drink too much chocolate milk. But Melissa Dobbins states that kids only drink chocolate milk because of the flavor, so if it was taken away, they would reach for other flavorful things like coke or sports drink. And you wouldn’t want your child to be drinking soft drink. Would you? Lastly, the article “Nutrition In Disguise” claims that kids who drink chocolate milk are not heavier than kids who don’t drink milk. This is why kid’s love the taste so they drink a lot of it and it is still healthy for them.
