Jamie Oliver Praises Washington, D.C. Schools Flavored Milk Ban
Written by Vegetarian Star on July 1st, 2010 in Chefs, Children, Nutrition-Health-Fitness.
Jamie Oliver is applauding Washington, D.C. schools for their decision to phase out flavored milk in school lunches by the end of this year.
According to Organic Authority, flavored milks, such as strawberry and chocolate, may contain as much corn syrup as a can of cola. Other states likes Florida may also be considering such a ban.
In a video, Oliver discusses the decision D.C. schools made to limit sugar in children’s meals, in his “Food Revolution News and Update.”
If you kept track of Oliver’s Food Revolution show months earlier where he attempted to transform one of the unhealthiest cities in the United States by teaching them to cook and choose ingredients wisely, you might remember Jamie’s outcry over the West Virginia school’s decision to keep strawberry milk on the menu after he had ordered only plain milk to be served.
Great job, D.C. schools! Now let’s keep up this progressive movement by offering non-dairy beverage equivalents like soy milk for children who are vegan or lactose intolerant.
