This continued throughout primary and secondary schools and survived a lot longer than similar programs that distributed concentrated orange juice and cod liver oil to all parents of infants in the UK in my pre-school years.<BR/><BR/>We talk a lot about programs like "no child left behind" and "end child poverty" but I know of no comparable, simple and effective program like free school milk here.Stephen Reeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557925284157387548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1871705412953857530.post-72225803444600095152007-11-20T13:47:00.000-08:002007-11-20T13:47:00.000-08:00According to this article soda is also linked with...According to <A HREF="http://themanitoban.com/1998-1999/0324/sports1.html" REL="nofollow">this article</A> soda is also linked with osteoporosis.<BR/><BR/>Most incredible to me is this:<BR/><B><BR/>Far more insidious cola manufacturers placed their logo on baby bottles.
