Fair enough, if children are getting at home the needed nutrients there is no need to provide them at schools. However, this canīt be decided on the basis of whole region averages only. What about the poorer regions/countries/areas?

Dear Michael,
I would like to question the data in this presentation. Take a look at slide 7 and slide 10. Cow milk cannot have the same protein content and fat content per 100g (3.6%). The same goes for dairy products which are also describe as having the same protein and fat content per 100g (20-35%). Obviously a mistake. Also, I don't understand how there could be such a huge difference between cow milk and dairy products when it comes to protein and fat? What else is a mistake in this presentation? I am not impressed.

Subject: FW: Question concerning the overview of worldwide school milk programmes

A list member has sent in this presentation on the EU school fruit scheme - which presents a negative view of the role of some other food items in children's diet:  including dairy products.

Perhaps list members would like to respond?

Michael
When I first began working on school milk, I was told by the FAO nutrition division that it was a mistake to talk about 'good' and 'bad' food and that all elements consumed in a balanced way had a role to play in a full and healthy diet.  This is something that I have had cause to reflect on many times since and have found a very useful piece of advice ... which I also offer as a point of departure for the discussion.
