Dear Mrs. Obama,
Do you know that adults around America constantly try to make kids have less fat and eat healthier? In schools all around the U.S. schools are trying they provide the healthy alternative. For example in our school it went from regular chocolate milk to fat free chocolate milk, which tastes horrible. Although fat free is probably healthier, the regular shouldn’t be banned, everybody deserves a little treat every once in a while.
Why I think this is because kids that are already healthy and exercise and such shouldn’t have to worry about the extra calories more that regular chocolate milk has compared to fat free. Plus the regular milk is has more vitamins then the low fat milk. I understand that many kids gain weight and sometimes can lead to obesity, but there should be both kinds of milk, and the kids that are bigger and overweight should be able to control themselves and go with the healthier choice.
People always try to point fingers at the people who make unhealthy food, when truly they should be pointing and themselves. Every human on this Earth has a little thing called self control, and that self control can lead them to make the right decision.
As small of a decision of choosing a fat free milk or a regular can also lead into something as big as a life choice. If kids don’t make the right decisions when their younger how do you expect them to make bigger one’s while there older. Sure kids need to be healthy, but a little sugar and fat every once in a while isn’t bad either.
With all of those reason I conclude with saying everyone deserves a regular milk instead of a fat free milk every once in a while. Everybody deserves a little treat; it could be from a salad to a sub or in my case low-fat chocolate milk to regular chocolate milk. If people eat healthy and have self control and make the right decisions there should be multiple choices in the lunchroom, healthy or unhealthy.
Sincerely,
Jordan T. Zimmerly
