A ban on chocolate milk may be too much for the governor of Connecticut to stomach.

The state General Assembly earlier this week approved nutrition legislation that threatened to remove chocolate milk from public schools. But, drawing a line in the sand in the nanny-state debate, Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy announced Friday that on the matter of lactose legislation -- he is intolerant.

It’s an election year also.

Mild surprise. A red who happens to like chocolate milk, or received donations from Guidas’ dairy.

Who wants to ban chocolate milk? What the heck is wrong with chocolate milk?!

Now as for that fake chocolate milk that does not even have milk in it, they can ban that all they want.

The ban, if passed, would have made Connecticut the first state in the country to eliminate chocolate milk from its public schools.

That's how my two boys (5, 3) are. They won't touch white milk. I'll put just enough chocolate syrup in it to turn it slightly brown and they gulp it up.

If I buy chocolate milk straight off the shelf (as I like to drink) I have to mix it 50/50 with regular milk or they'll tell me it's too sweet.

The problem with chocolate milk is the same problem with butter milk. I can't find any that's not. "low fat".

Considering that the brain is still developing at 5 years of age (90% developed) and a child’s body continues to grow at all stages of development, fat is a critical part of any child’s diet.http://www.raisehealthyeaters.com/2011/07/kids-nutrition-part-3-dietary-fat-for-children-are-we-missing-the-mark/

Michelle O is wrong about her butter ban!

Use white milk and add your own chocolate. If I get a minute I’ll post a recipe for some chocolate sauce that’s WAY better than Hershey’s or similar store-bought stuff. We use it primarily on ice cream, but it does make great chocolate milk.

He is not a Republican. He is a Democrat.

"Red" by itself as a noun means Communist (e.g. "Better red than dead"). Malloy is left of most Dems.

Great cartoon. If Republicans had any brains we’d stand with school kids and their right to eat what they want for lunch.

When chocolate milk is outlawed only outlaws will have chocolate milk.
