Why are so many of our respected academics, health educators & nutritionists struggling with their own BMI issues (obese/overweight Rudd @Yale, Patricia Crawford @Atkins, ).... if indeed the BMI is the metric we're using for health/disease? Behavioral modification is so much more than decades of knowledge?

@TheVeroniqueL I was thinking the exact same thing....walk your talk people!

Milk as a requirement? Surely these educated people are aware of epidemiological studies showing that countries with the highest milk consumption also have higher rates of cancer, obesity, acne, diabetes, autism, etc. Goes to show that formal education has been influenced by the food industry to the detriment of the public.

@hilofarmgal Those studies no doubt used Pasteurized Homogenized milk. Something like 99% of our milk is. The statistics haven't been done with healthy raw milk.

Perhaps if the teachers, cafeteria workers and nutritionists would follow this advice, it would set an example that the kids would respect and follow. How often does "do as I say, not as I do" work with anyone?
