Battle lines are drawn over chocolate milk in schools

From The New York Times: Chocolate milk has emerged as both villain and victim in a school cafeteria drama that pits the milk industry, administrators and parents against one another. Nationwide, 71 percent of the milk served in school cafeterias is flavored. In New York City, school food officials say fat-free chocolate milk fills nearly 60 percent of the 100 million cartons served each year. The rest is 1-percent plain. But chocolate milk can contain about twice as much sugar as plain low-fat milk. Milk is naturally sweet from lactose; flavored milk also contains cane sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, making it unwelcome in some cafeterias.
