School lunch is already very unappealing to the majority of students, many believe that milk does not help in making it any more appetizing. Of course, dairy is an important part of every growing child’s diet, however, many students prefer to receive it in other forms rather than milk. Milk has dehydrating characteristics as it is made up of mucus and fat, this is why many students would rather pass on milk. We should replace milk with water as most schools rarely allow their students to have personal water bottles in class, on top of which most schools do not make it easy for their students to access water fountains whenever they feel thirst. Drinking water while eating is important as it cleans the pallet, makes it easier to put down food, and keeps the body hydrated. The whole point of having a drink your meal is to keep the mouth hydrated, milk thickens the saliva making an unpleasant eating experience. Listen to your students and replace milk with water, find better dairy options, and encourage your students to get the nutrition they need.
