I'm a junior in a Kentucky high school. Usually at lunch, we have a choice between 8 oz bottles of chocolate or white milk, or 20 oz bottles of Aquafina water. Today, however, the school informed us that because of a Federal law, they were no longer allowed to serve water in the free lunch program because it has no nutritional value. [It seems to me that since a majority of the human body consists of water, it would be rather important to keep it in our diets =S but i guess i don't know what i'm talking about!] I have friends that are lactose intolerant, so they had to go without anything to drink at lunch today. Then, after lunch was over, we were informed that those who could not drink milk for whatever reasons would have the opportunity to buy a water at lunch. Does anyone have any information about this? Is it a new law, or one that has simply been made stricter, to include even water? Thanks for any information you're able to give =)
