Re: whats this all about. Full fat milk being taken from schools?

Lilly, there are essential fatty acids and other nutrients in milk than calcium. as I said the difference in fat between whole and semi is 2% so in a full pint of milk you are talking ~10ml difference, there are far greater benefits in stopping them eating too many chips, sweets, junk.

I would also point out that a lot of the "Fat is bad for you" brigade have not seperated the whole natural fats that nature provides from the man made genetically modified trans fats etc that are the real reason of obseity and heart disease.

I for one will happily recommend and encourage Siobhan to drink full fat milk as long as she wants to.
