I'm taking you on a journey from A to Z through the land of dairy!
There's no need to pack your bags, just come along!
K Is For Kids
Today I want to share some facts about dairy and school meals.
- Kids who eat school breakfast and lunch consume more milk than those who don't.
- Nutritional Standards For School Lunches require low-fat or fat-free milk to be offered with each school meal.
- Since 2006 the dairy industry has reduced added sugars by an estimated 38 % in the chocolate milk offered in schools. Most flavored milk is just 31 calories more than white milk.
- Cheese and yogurt qualify as meat substitutes in school meals.
We, as dairy farmers are doing our best to provide your kids with healthy dairy foods. We are proud to produce what your kids need to
do their best at school.

I am making a commitment to share as much as I can with you each day this month, about the life of our dairy farm family including what we do, how we share our passion for dairy, and dairy foods we enjoy.
Great posts Jan!! Love the A-Z! Kids at my school love milk and they also love getting to know dairy farmers.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Sarah. We dairy farmers take our job very seriously, just like your kids take learning and doing their best seriously. Will Flat Aggie be a part of your teaching again this year? Let me know if you ever get to Minnesota. I'd love to show you our farm.
