Milk Machine At Forest City School As Susquehanna County Dairy Princess and a student at the Forest City High School, I have been working with the school to bring a milk vending machine to the Forest City School. I have had several hurdles to climb but I’m pleased to announce the milk vending machine was approved at a recent school board meeting.
In Susquehanna County, Elk Lake, Mountain View, and Blue Ridge Schools already have milk vending machines and the Montrose School recently ordered a milk vending machine to be placed in their high school. I have found there are a lot of students that like to buy and drink milk during the day. Milk is a very healthy drink that has lots of calcium. School kids and adults should be drinking milk. The nutritional value of drinking milk seems to be popping up in other places also. McDonald's was the first fast food chain to promote milk by offering milk with their happy meals for children instead of soda. Apparently other fast food restaurants are becoming aware of the nutritional value milk has in one's diet as several other fast food chains have now followed McDonald’s by offering milk as an alternative to drinking soda with their meals. I find many parents want their children to eat healthier and milk is an important source of calcium in a child’s diet. Many children today do not get enough calcium in their diet. I believe by placing milk vending machines in the schools kids will be given the opportunity improve their diet. Along with milk being a rich source of calcium, milk contains protein, vitamin D, vitamin A, vitamin B12, phosphorus, riboflavin, potassium and niacin. Milk’s nutrients are necessary for developing strong bones and teeth. Remember it’s just not an apple a day that keeps the doctor away but it’s also 3-A-Day of dairy foods, milk, cheese and yogurt.
