My husband feels the same way about cows'' milk. I''ve switched to soy and our kids will likely only be given the same. His father, who was an MD, felt very strongly that there is no need to drink cows'' milk and has passed that down to my husband. I don''t have strong feelings about drinking milk, it''s just something I''ve always done, and soy milk works just as well.Date: 11/16/2009 11:30:32 PM

My husband tells me this all the time. He finds my milk drinking habit to be disgusting. I drink a gallon or two of skim milk a week, I really love it. I used to drink a full gallon every two days when I was in high school.Date: 11/16/2009 11:27:35 PM

My doctor always said that once a child was old enough to be weaned, there really was no valid reason to drink milk at all (much less chocolate milk).
I would view chocolate milk as a treat, much like pudding or candy.
I think chocolate milk is definitely a treat.
I don''t think it''s bad to give a kid chocolate milk, especially not as a treat, I just don''t think it''s necessary, unless the kid refuses anything else w/ calcium.
