@ehBeth,
I read the LA Times but cursorily - there has been a whale of sturm and drang about him, with batches of comments about arrogance.
I'm just speaking as a kid, I would have liked chocolate milk. I don't think I ran across it until high school (was skinny then too).
As I intimated, I'd be fine, adult now, with almond milk, blady blady blah.
I don't think the milk is the problem, while I get the instinct to curtail it - it's all the rest of the horrid food.
Why is there horrid food? institutionalization but also a combo of low expectation and low funding, boosted with low knowledge that I don't blame the immediate people for.
