Around the country, chocolate milk is being bullied out of schools. But students and even some parents are fighting the chocolate-banning powers that be.

Fairfax (VA) County Schools took away chocolate milk earlier this year, but, as The Daily Mail reports, the district “received a slew of letters from nutritional and special interest groups that said their decision was rash and that they had robbed students of not only a tasty drink but also the vitamins and minerals essential for their healthy bone and muscle growth.” The district solved the problem by getting its milk suppliers to provide a lower-fat chocolate milk without high-fructose corn syrup.
When the anti-sugar hysteria dies down and common sense kicks in, most people realize that chocolate milk is better than no milk at all.
