Even when it will likely do harm...to minorities

Three Democrat state lawmakers in Connecticut have sponsored a bill that would ban day care centers from serving whole or 2 percent milk to children.

Democrat state Reps. David Zoni and Roberta Willis and state Sen. Catherine Osten say the proposed legislation aims to control childhood obesity.

Quote:As Foxnews.com reports, the bill would set stringent standards. It reads:

No child day care center, group day care home or family day care home shall provide milk with a milk fat content greater than 1 percent to any child 2 years of age or older under the care of such facility unless milk with a higher milk fat content is medically required for an individual child, as documented by such child's medical provider.
...
A study published in the European Journal of Nutrition found that high-fat dairy was associated with a lower risk of obesity.

Sheesh my older kids are 8 and 7 and they still drink whole milk.... Thin as a rail, probably because I send them outside to play and there is not TV Sunday night to Friday night..

Want kids to be thin? get them outside for nearly the whole day...
