Sticking their fingers into your daily existence because they can and lust for such power.

#6 Fondly remembering taking 'milk money' to 1st grade. Early lesson in commerce.

10:00 every morning we were each issued a tiny carton of milk and two vanilla wafers. Nap time followed.

What goes around comes around.
I still take a 10:00 nap.

#10 Utter b/s because we know damn well that sugar juice will still be on the menu. With choco milk, at least the kids get the calcium, vit D and the rest of the wholesome stuff. With Orange and Grape Flavor Sugar Juice, that stuff is only good for the diabetes.

#13 I'm sure there's lots of stuff in the typical school lunch that makes sugar seem benign.

#16 PLEZi ingredients: water, apple juice concentrate,
soluble vegetable fiber, citric acid, watermelon juice concentrate, potassium citrate, ascorbic acid, orange juice concentrate, sodium citrate, magnesium lactate, natural flavors, stevia leaf extract, monk fruit extract, beta carotene, zinc oxide. Isn't zinc oxide sunscreen? It's 22% juice from concentrate. Sounds really healthy to me. (NOT)

#17 'monk fruit'

Goodie! More 'stuff' from China!

Monk Fruit and Stevia are artificial sweeteners, and not really good ones at that.

#19 Most essential minerals are ingested in compound arrangements like chlorides, oxides, tartrates, etc.

That's how the body is able to metabolize and absorb them.

#23 Confucius say, "Wonderful juice
Come from monkfruit. From name we deduce
That the taste may be sweet --
Though it never beat meat! --
But make students too hard to seduce."

#25 Free Brawndo from cradle to grave!
But given how children behave...
Once the kids get enough
Let us hope that the stuff's
What the plants on the playground will crave.
