Twenty-eight civil rights and health care groups announced Tuesday they have requested that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) address “dietary racism” in national school lunch programs, raising concerns to the federal agency about forcing millions of minority children to drink cow’s milk without allowing them a healthier alternative. (Snip) “If Black lives matter, so does our health and nutrition, but the National School Lunch Program has consistently failed children of color,” said Milton Mills, a Washington, D.C., urgent care physician who has researched the topic, in a statement. “Either schoolchildren drink the milk they’re given and suffer in class

What happened to Michelle Obamas "Let's Move?" Even Bill Maher is decrying the PC acceptance of Obesity as "Body Positivity." So much to say here and as I recall my time as the only Pale Person working an Internship at the Greater Harlem Nursing School in Manhattan, I could not find any place in the neighborhood to buy lunch that wasn't fried or otherwise inedible to me. Not a vegetable in sight ... I had to bring my own lunch! That said I enjoyed my fellow employees very much (lot of Baptists) even though I was scared to death getting off the subway the 1st day and walking past Harlem Hospital.

He's screaming about milk............it seems that the non white population is has a higher percentage of lactose intolerance. Another push against cows and farming. By an race hustler.

This proves something I've thought for a number of years. Racial 'activists' just sit around all day thinking of things to come up with that they can become outraged about and then declare racist. Right?

As a teacher I can verify his assertion. POC eat tons of junk food offered FOR SALE by the cafeteria. These are the same free lunch kids who have countless dollars to buy $1 snacks from the machines and from the lunch room by the handful. But go on pushing the lies you Anti Christ grifter. God's judgment is sure and swift.

May I suggest that parents make their children's lunch if they don't like what is served. I made my kids lunch for schools for years. They could buy the pizza on Friday's and that was it.

School cafeterias stay open during the summer in order to give black kids one decent and free meal a day, since those kids have it irresponsible (single) mamas.
I suppose those cafeterias should pay the kids to show up for the free meals
There’s no end to it.

Hey,, "Rev": Here's a novel idea for you. Start preaching to your Brood Mares that they stop spreading their legs for any thug that walks by and feed their OWN offspring. The White Supremacists are becoming quite weary of the tax burden in feeding their own children AND footing the bill for your "homies" who, in most instances, have no clue of many they have fathered, don't know their "baby mama's" last name, and could not care less if the kid eats or if it doesn't.

I think that there are more lactose intolerant kids in the schools these days than the education system acknowledges. While I do not call it racism, I do think that maybe somebody needs to put their thinking caps on.

Mooch Obama never said a word about this when she was redoing the school lunch program.
What would Dr. Al recommend be served these little victims?

This is another racialist red herring. Can their kid eat ice cream? Can they eat pudding, custard? Can they eat mac and cheese….or cheese, period?
How did all these mothers of lactose intolerant minority kids feed them when they were babies and Mom had to be elsewhere?
So many legit questions.

One more thing: where does Dr. Al think they’ll get their calcium and vimin D?
Another unmedical doctor, who read somewhere that black and some other miniority kids are at higher risk for lactose intolerance - not all have it. Just more hoops

Apparently there's nothing too petty or absurd to use the "racism" card for.

I believe in Afrika they drank blood from animals. Perhaps we could arrange that with some slaughterhouses! BTW, when you see a big fat hundreds of pounds cow waddle down the street what does she usually carry in her hand? You guessed it, a big milk shake. One needs calories to get to the car.

DH and I drink lots of milk. Stop wasting it on these kids and we won’t find it in short supply at our market. Maybe water would be good for them. Nice clean water.

It takes a lot of extra effort to cut and serve watermelon properly. Besides, these lunches are free to most of Sharpton's people, courtesy of white working taxpayers. Just shut up and eat it or pay for your lunch somewhere else. I'm sick of your constant whining.

I'm 71 and white and have been drinking milk ever since I was born. My mother insisted on it. At times, when I tell people Iove milk,they all but recoil in horror. They think it causes internal inflammation and all kinds of problems. There's a history of osteoporosis in my family and I figure I need all the calcium I can get. As for Al Sharpton, if black kids are lactose intolerant,there is always juice or water to drink. Or maybe the lunch program can offer almond milk. It's not like the kids are dehydrated. Most of the minority college students I interact with all carry insulated water bottles with them (so do I).

Back in Graduate School, I had an office mate who was black, with an enormous chip on his shoulder. It was the early 1970s, and a black power movement was still alive and well, and my office mate had bought in to that movement.
One day in an casual academic discussion about urban school problems, the issue of nutrition came up, and when I mentioned the higher rates of blacks who were lactose intolerant, he thought I was being racist.
Some things never seem to change.

As a Black man who loved school lunches back then (pizza and cheeseburger days were the best) could someone please explain to me what the heck dietary racism is?
