From The Tampa Tribune: Florida officials says that milk producers have voluntarily reduced the sugar content by 38 percent in chocolate- and strawberry-flavored milk that's sold in most of the state's schools. Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam told the State Board of Education that only low-fat and no-fat milk is offered in those schools. The Legislature has transferred authority over school nutrition to the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Affairs.
