Origin of Everything is a show about the undertold histories and cultural dialogues that make up our collective story. From the food we eat, to the trivia and fun facts we can’t seem to get out of our heads, to the social issues we can’t stop debating, everything around us has a history. Origin of Everything is here to explore it all. We like to think that no topic is too small or too challenging to get started!

I used to drink milk as a snack at school everyday and I also got terrible stomach cramps every day. It only took about 8 years to realize I was lactose intolerant
Laura Ingouf
I’m incredibly stupid so I didn’t realise that I’m lactose intolerant until I was 19.
... So much unnecessary pain
18 years of pain for me
I get sick without it.
Hahahahahaha
I knew I was lactose intolerant because it goes back a ways in my family so they saw the symptoms but I just ignored it until it got to the point where my parents interfered
I really hate the dairy/cattle industry subsidies.
My school forced me to take milk despite me having a doctor's note that I'm lactose intolerant and often I would get yelled at by teachers for not drinking it.
That's abuse
@@Angie-yx8vi Yeah, I know. I went to one of the worst schools in the US.
Girl what 💀 what did you do then
Lmaaaoo, that's hilarious misfortune 😂
Masira Juju Just gave the milk to people who wanted it and placed the empty carton on my tray.
I don't even understand why kids in the USA have to pay for lunch, much less as to why this is even an argument that people are against. Unifying state budget to allow all public schools to receive all the things they need without copay is much smarter than depending on the taxes of the surrounding properties AND if you are against children having lunch for free in school you really need to rethink your priorities.
Why should my tax money pay for your kid's lunch? Shouldn't that be the parents' responsibility?
@@vanillajack5925 It's called living in a society. It's a great idea community.
@@Robt137 So you think everyone's meals should be provided to them by the government?
@@vanillajack5925 of course, especially when almost all the wealth is controlled by little group of people, while the others are living either in poverty, or in constant fear of joining the latter. Owners of USA have to share, or they will face socialist revolution.
@@vanillajack5925 That's like saying why should I pay road tax if your car gets damaged by a pothole, to fill said pothole
The majority of people in the world are lactose intolerant. A lot of people are not aware of it because they came from cultures that have not traditionally consumed milk. I think the US (and Canadian) government should have an obligation to include a disclaimer about lactose intolerance in every milk ad-campaign.
It's good to see another food-based episode. If any more are planned, I'd like to see your take on how crops from the Americas (chilies, potatoes, chocolate, ect...) were incorporated into the culinary traditions of Asia, Africa, and Europe. Depending on the time period and specific location, these foods could range from being outright rejected (for various reasons) to becoming staples and cultural icons.
I would be interested in a vid like that too!
Hallows4 - you should check out this video on native American cuisine, especially 6:30. czcams.com/video/fe52rEPQSuU/video.html
The list of american foods is longer than I realized - corn, beans, squash, chocolate, vanilla, tomatoes, chilis, and potatoes.
This is very interesting, considering our modern world's cultural connections to these particular foods-
Polenta is associated with Italy
So are tomatoes.
Potatoes are all over Europe and Russia. What would perogies be without the potato?
Chilis are all over the world, from Spain to almost every Asian cuisine.
Chocolate and vanilla are widely used in confections and pastries the world over.
Please note that while there are a lot of good things brought up in the above mentioned video, many scholars do not consider frybread or frybread tacos to be authentic native food as these are made from commodity rations distributed by the government post colonization.
Also, if you are interested in authentic native cooking using only ingredients available pre colonization, I'd highly recommend looking into the work of Sean Sherman.
Angie978- I like the way you think, and I’ll check out that video when I have a chance.
Yes!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Like KFC at Christmas?
Starting the year off with strong bones! At least that's what milk ads want us to think.
It's better to have a surplus of vitamin than none at all.
Milk gives osteoporosis lol
I love this woman and Simon Whistler educating me on dozens of random things :D
I'm lactose intolerant but when I was in school, the teachers always made me put a carton of milk on my tray anyways. I always wasted that milk by throwing it away :/
Star-Crossed Voyager some schools have Lactose free milk at the school but not all do you should have told your teachers that you're lactose intolerant
I'm not lactose intolerant,but I did the same thing. I just only drink strawberry milk.
drink my soy milk and eat my green vegetables like an adult
No milk in France too, I remember the teacher could get wine tho :D
They probably needed it lol
Lol I love French people being stereotypically French :D
Did they also give you baguettes and escargot?
@@kyletowers9662 Baguette is a given eveywhere, but it's still a canteen quality. Escargots are too expensive and too messy to eat (needs a special deash)
@Thomas Palmer I could be a teacher in France hahaha 😅
In Finland we always have milk in school. Even 1st grade kids are constantly being told that we all should drink 6 glasses of milk every day in order to get enough calcium and we had posters all around school showing the pros of drinking milk. Getting enough calcium is of course important for growing kids, but honestly I feel there could be another way to get enough calcium than drinking milk, especially ways that contain less calories since teenager and child obesite are probably bigger problems.
Leafy green vegetables and tinned soft-boned fish such as sardines and salmon pack a whole lot of calcium per serving..not quite as much as milk, but without milk-fat and without triggering lactose-allergy reactions.
papi they’re getting payed by the milk industry those r lies, they wanna make money. Milk isn’t good for the body with many hormones wich support the growth of cancer etc. (+early puberty)
@Dross M one glass is about 2dl
@@VolcanoEarth excatly, I'm not super educated about this topic but I don't see the reason why one couldn't just get the calcium by eating healthy without a need to consume that much dairy products. Even in countries where dairy products are not a part of daily meals, people don't seen to be having any more problems with calcium than they do in countries where mikk, cheese, yoghurt and such are consumed daily by most of the citizens, but I don't know for sure.
I take calcium with vitamin d, but I have a health condition that could lead to advanced bone loss.
My kid's doctor recommended two glasses of milk per day in addition to what she's having now, but only because she is underweight.
When I was a child,, (I'm 29 yo now) my school always had cartons of white milk, chocolate milk, strawberry milk, orange juice, and sometimes apple juice. Children deserve healthier lunches than what most American schools serve. I look at the type of lunches that are serve to children in most European countries and think that American kids should be getting that type of lunch, not the type of lunch they are getting. So yes, healthier lunches would be a good idea.
Happy New Year. Have a nice day/night.
Great video, keep up the good work.
I am an European guy, and when I was a student in high school we could go to any bakery that was near. Much better than getting borderline dog food in elementary. So maybe in rich European countries, but in Eastern Europe, not at all
Here in washington some schools have started growing indoor gardens and making food from scratch, which I think is amazing! I also thing schools should bring back Home Economics. I remember being quite sad that I didn't have that as a option in my middle/high school. Luckly my mom tough us how to hand sew, but I taught myself how to cook.
I’m just glad that my school has good food. First off we have *options* ! Secondly, the food is cooked not preheated. We have one salad and deli line(my favorite), as well as a line that changes everyday. The food served on a day to day can range from French toast sticks to chicken Alfredo to turkey to anything really. Also there is a line dedicated entirely to meat. Grilled chicken, fried chicken, chicken tenders, and hamburgers. And the last line is pizza. We have fruit and veggie options, and a ton of them too. We have apples, bananas, carrots, pears, grapes, apple sauce, oranges, among others. We also have a ton of vegetable options. Your required to take two fruits or vegetables and can take up to five without being charged extra. For beverages we have milk(regular, chocolate, and strawberry) as well alternative milks such as almond milk if your lactose intolerant or for some other reason can’t have cows milk. We also have apple, orange, and grape juices. As well as bottles of water. So yee!
@@julianacarragher7323 my school was similar because it had different lines for different types of food but the food was still pretty gross most of the time
My elementary school didn't have orange juice. We got orange DRINK. Gross!
As a foreigner, I think it's very weird to drink milk even weirder chocolate milk at lunch, we would mostly drink water at my school
QUESTION: What is the connection (if any) between providing milk in school lunches and printing missing children ads on milk cartons?
I actually heard this on a podcast. A woman whose child was missing from a local dairy community, her neighbor put his picture on his milk cartons to get the word out. There was no national registry or anything at that point, and the police didn't take her seriously (said her 7 or 8 year old son had run away while on his paper route, leaving his dog and bike on the side of the road).
I have a milk allergy so i always got juice instead of milk in school. I hate orange juice though so I pretty much always threw it out. It was really wasteful looking back on it, I'd really would have rather drank water.
I really don't understand why they rarely offered water as a choice. I usually brought my own lunch so I had a water bottle, but water wasn't an option in our cafeterias for a while
I’m lactose intolerant and I would get orange juice and throw it out too. I thought it was wasteful but if I wanted water I had to walk to the fountains in the hallway with a teacher
Edit:I have a tendency to get terrible lasting hiccups if I can’t stop them almost as soon as they begin so I would get juice so I could stop them
Crazy how we now know most people are lactose intolerant, because all mammals become lactose intolerant as adults. Only Central-East Africa and Northern Europe had the two genetic mutations that allow lactose tolerance (lactase production) in adulthood.
Are there any pushes to take biology into account? (Yes, school kids aren't adults, but hospitals and nursing homes often serve milk).
Three words: The. Dairy. Lobby.
Welp. As problematic as milk and the milk industry are - the kids in question needed a cost-effective source of calories and nutrients. You don't get those from drinking water.
250ml milk adds extra 200-ish calories and decent amounts of calcium, potassium, B vitamins and protein - all which those kids very much need.
@@t.vinters3128 And lactose, which many kids not of northern European descent can't digest.
@@alidaweber1023 That is true, but I think awareness to this was very low until pretty recently.
@@alidaweber1023
And also at the time hormones weren't put in cows, they were grass - fed, and antibiotics were administered only when the cows were ill. No GMO's, then, either.
The things they do to cows these days make cows milk indigestible to me now eve though I CAN digest good milk (nothing added; no GMO; grass fed). I wonder if those who are lactose intolerant were made that way by tainting cows milk like we've done since the 1990's.
It doesn't matter what's on the label: my colon can tell the quality of the milk.
Thomas Vinters Very true. Unfortunately, the negatives outweigh the positives by far (in my opinion) with hormones, chemicals, sugar, and lactose intolerance coming into play. :/
Nice use of a John Mulaney quote at 5:55 😂
In Poland, most of us have to pay for school lunch, unless your family can't afford it. We have free milk, vegetables and fruits, but they are given separately. And when I say "lunch" I mean something more like dinner because it contains soup, main dish and sometimes a dessert.
My aunt is a teacher and it turns out most kids don't want their free milk and vegetables, so she brings this stuff home and has never-ending supply.
Prawda.
This is my new favorite informative youtube channel
I think when I was in elementary school in the 70s/80s we were only offered chocolate milk one day a week - and of course that was considered the best day to buy lunch. ;-)
Interesting topic. When I worked at various daycare centers, milk was a big deal. Almost every meal was served with milk and I felt bad for the kids that hated the taste. We would encourage them to drink it, but if it were my child, I would give them water. Milk especially cows milk has no real value to a person's diet. I am lactose intolerant. Another thing people are bringing up in the comments on how back when they were school, water wasn't seen as a beverage. Sad, because water is the best thing a person can drink! Love your channel, keep the food-related topics coming!
Yay! Origin of Everything is back!
“Sponsored by the dairy men of Idaho” that’s what they always said every 5 min of the school sports programs
Great first step into the very interesting and complex topic of entitlements!
you should do an episode on why high paying jobs (like STEM related) are high paying and why some lower paying jobs are lower paying
Why do you like green juice more than milk? Sorry if you're lactose intolerant. It's o9nly a few of us mutants that have the lactase persistence gene :(
I got free lunch in high school. After figuring out milk made me feel ill to the stomach I went through the line and just didn't grab one. But then the cashier lady told me I'd have to or pay because it wasn't a "full meal"
The with the advent of contractors providing lunches the food has got so nasty that kids won't eat it. The cost savings is forcing the kids to bring snacks in their backpacks to eat in the classroom.
The kids whose families can /afford/ snacks.
I started kindergarten in 68. That county in N.J. kids had to bring lunch.
All the rest of schools in N.J., MD, N.C., FL. and GA schools provided meals.
All schools I went to, meals were like healthy home cooked.
Also, in elementary school, we got a recess every hour. In N.C. this ended in 77 and high schools 75. Schools need to bring lots of recess back.
Having time to run and get mind of work made learning MUCH easier.
When I was in high school, I was forced to take a milk. I had to buy a bottle of water but even then I had to still take the milk. I’m lactose intolerant. I wasted SO much perfectly good milk due to this. Still annoyed over it.
U r not lactose intolerant, u r just simply not a baby calf 😉 Pretty much 99% of ppl r lactose intolerant. It's because the milk is made by mother for her clild, and not for other species
LOVE THIS CHANNEL
When I was in school we had a choice of plain milk or apple juice. They would let us have chocolate milk on fridays. I always picked reg milk as it was my favorite, except for on friday ;).
So my small rural high school would buy the milk cartons in bulk, but didn't have enough kids in the system to go through all of those milk cartons before they went bad. Solution? Freeze them. The result? No one drank the milk and instead went to the water fountain if they were thirsty (the vending machines were only turned on after school was out).
And then there were those of use that were lactose intolerant by high school that couldn't have drank the milk anyway, even if it wasn't watered down through freezing to the point that literally no one wanted to drink it.
I'm curious how many schools across the US freeze the milk to save money. I know our lunches were the cheapest, mass produced shit they could find - most of it was mystery meat or had the texture of cardboard along with virtually no flavor. I'm pretty sure the cockroaches lived off the shit we threw away (yes, we threw most of it away and yes there were cockroaches in the cafeteria).
Edit: Since I graduated, I looked up the lead levels in the water in the town that my high school was in. Let's just say there was a reason the water tasted bad. It's not above the legal limit, but it's not too far off from it either. So that's fun. The town I currently live in has a pretty high lead content too, but at least we're using filters (however much good that does). It's better than the area my grandmother lives in - they can't drink the water there because strip mining in the area has poisoned the water and the county doesn't have the money to address it and the state... doesn't care. So she and everyone else in the tiny rural community she lives in buy their water bottled from the nearest city.
Mind, it's not as bad as Flint - they can still use it to bathe and do laundry, but it's not safe for drinking or cooking. However, it's been that way as long as I can remember and probably longer. That area's been mined for over a hundred years, so this is definitely not a new problem for them.
My friend is sensitive to lactose and hates drinking milk yet they make her pay for juice, Gatorade, tea anything. Even water I think they should always have a backup for kids who dont like or are sensitive to milk
I never drank milk for lunch or at school. I always took food from home.
When I was in elementary school (early 2000's) I recall having the choice of 2%milk, fat-free milk, chocolate milk, strawberry milk, orange juice or fruit punch, as I got older those choices shrunk, first we lost the punch, then the orange juice, then we lost the 2% then orange juice came back then the strawberry milk disappeared then the orange juice went away again until in my senior year of highschool we had the choice of fat-free white milk, and fat-free chocolate milk
A milk carton is free while a water bottle is $1 where I go to school. It sucks because I hate milk but I need something to drink.
very interesting! I never would have thought about this on my own
hi can you please tell me where did y'all got does nice shelvings please..... thankss
I always hated that they only had milk, because my family couldn't afford to by the water and I was lactose intolerant.
we got those plastic milk bags. cartons too good for us
Yea, soy milk!! YUM
That's my shii🤘🤘
@@filip-i-9156 No way. I prefer almond or cashew.
Almond
I gave up milk for calves about 4 years ago, never felt better though. So glad Im not breast-feeding!
They never mention the tax burden placed on homeowners that pay for the entitlements. Its always" a "Federal Program".
My grandparents went to one room schoolhouses in the 1940s cuz they lived in rural Iowa. My grandfather graduated 8th grade and went to work as a farm hand. He eventually became a mechanic as on-the-job training was much more common back then (plus the engines were simpler than they are now - he hated it when computers started being put in cars). My grandmother actually went to high school in the nearest city and eventually went to university and became a physical therapist. My grandmother's family had a lot more money and more kids so their parents were concerned about making sure all of their kids got a proper education and had options.
Plus, my great grandmother actually ended up getting kicked out of her family (due to a dispute that absolutely no one would talk about and everyone involved is now dead), so after that she ended up working as a maid-of-all-work (BBC has a good documentary on the job, albeit the form it took in the UK) until she met my great-grandfather who came from a moderately successful family, although they were still farmers - basically she wanted to make sure none of her daughters ended up having to do what she did.
When I was a kid in PR in the sixties, we still went home for lunch... we had an hour and a half, so we could also take a siesta... :)
Extra points for using the word kerfuffle! I drank milk at home for breakfast and dinner, I remember our school occasionally had juice options as well. .
I love the john mulaney reference at 5:54 lmao
Your such a joy to listen to, keep up the great work!
I’m allergic to milk and in the 1980’s I was often forced to drink milk all the time by teachers who didn’t believe my allergy was real.
Well you would be dead so...
Me We
No I wouldn’t because my allergy is not severe or life threatening. I breakout in hives and vomit. Why is it people mistakenly believe all food allergies are life threatening?
@@msoda8516 because they are. You make it seem like your teachers gave you milk everyday so honestly you would end up in the hospital or dead
In 1st and 2nd grade we went home for lunch, but they still had a milk break. It was in a heavily agricultural state, SD. Then, we moved to OR where we just had lunch at school. No milk break. Now, many years later, I take calcium supplements because they are cheaper and more portable, no car.
Side note, love the book shelves, can you buy them somewhere?
Oh man!! I remember that discussion during school!! At the time as I was not too into politics but I did understand it was to subside farming but I felt, not for the farmer's benefit....less us kids
How am I just now finding out about this channel?
We all have that one person who asks for your milk
The John Mulaney quote at 5:55🤣
4:18 I got a kick out of the "n" being backwards. Reminded me of how cartoons depict lemonade stands with backward letters 🤣⭐
I do wonder if healthier food (since it nourishes the body) or good tasting food (since it makes you feel good) is a better predictor of academic performance.
smokin a blunt rn dead to the worldddd
I have that shirt and love it and Elvis!
I always found wierd to see kids drinking milk with their lunches at school in movies... I don't go to school anymore but the years that I ate at the schooé cafeteria it was only water... I can not imagine drinking milk other than for breakfast or maybe a late snack...
I only drink strawberry flavored milk. So I grew up either drinking water, or drinking nothing at lunch.
Good vid. Needs more about the dairy lobby.
When I was in elementary school I went home for lunch because it was literally across the street. In high school, I went to the park to smoke weed.
Interesting video! I was expecting a mention of how a majority of non-white people are actually some form of lactose intolerant. Yet milk consumption is pushed heavily to these public school children. Often non-white.
Cow milk is meant for baby cows, not humans
It's pretty common to become lactose intolerant as you get older. Humans drink their moms milk. Not supposed to drink milk past like age 6

Go vegan #esketit 🤘🔥❤🐄🐷🐔❤
@@ImperiaGin unless you're from Northern European descent.
@@deadrevolver1505 Yeah, I love milk
When I was in gradeschool in the late '70s, the only way you could get a non-milk option in the cafeteria was if you had a doctor's note stating you had a milk allergy..which a handful of kids did. They got to have fruit juice of the sort served with school breakfast OR they could have tea from the staff's table. In my house, we drank tea with dinner and coffee with breakfast and milk was strictly for cereal. I SO wanted to fake a milk-allergy note so I could have tea with lunch.
Also I was well into my late teens before I found out that not every household gave their young children coffee with breakfast.
7:57 How typical that they are focussing on how the kids are "performing" instead of the long term effects on their health. After all children are supposed to have careers, not lives.
Here in the netherlands we don’t often eat lunch at school because we live with in a 5 minutes walk from our primary school, most of the children goes home for lunch. If your parents aren’t home for lunch time you will bring your own food. Also we do drink a lot of milk here. (We have many cows 🐄 )
I am not a huge fan of chocolate milk either but I love regular milk. Those green juices are really good, just expensive.
Honestly, there's a huge difference between chocolate milk and soda. For one thing, the portion size: the cartons of milk served in school lunches are typically 8 ounces (a half pint) whereas sodas are usually either in a 12 oz can or a 20 oz bottle. For another, the base: milk at least starts as something that's natural and has a lot of nutritional benefits (so even if it has added flavoring, it still has that calcium, vitamin D, protein, etc.), while there is absolutely nothing in soda that wasn't manufactured in a factory and no nutritional value whatsoever. For another, the amount of sweetener: believe it or not, most of the sugar on the label of chocolate milk comes from the lactose in the milk itself, not the added sweeteners, whereas soda is basically watered-down high-fructose corn syrup.
I've always associated milk and apples with school. I wonder if the apple growers' industry also made them the default fruit for school lunches? Or, more likely, this is all just cultural with no real nefarious plot behind it.
This is a bit disturbing considering that 65% of the world's population is lactose intolerant and that it takes more resources to produce a small amount of a product that offers less return value nutritionally speaking. Great episode for sure.
*B-but...I drink water in school, I've never drank milk in school...*
Was just going to comment this.
Yea I traded my lunches and whatnot most days.
Not every kid drinks milk but many kids in schools do lol
Same
Maybe it tastes bad in school...
BEACUSE YOU ATE FRUITS BEFORE DRINKING MILK!
I brought a lunch but bought a small carton of milk. I paid the same as everyone, was in the 50s. It may not have been market pricing though. We were lower middle class but the area was middle to upper middle. So not until HS did I encounter anyone who'd need a free or subsidized lunch.
Did you just imply that you're a vegetarian or vegan? Excellent!
...No, quite the opposite, in fact.
I feel that the free lunch program in public schools 🏫 here in the U.S.A was a good idea 💡. Because it helped out lower income students get a breakfast and lunch during the school year 🏫. And more should be done to keep both state and federal government programs ready in the school 🏫 system. Even prolonging it into the summer break☀️.
Love these videos. 🧀🥛
The dairy industry was so desperate for people to drink milk that in addition to the subsidies, they had to make all those "got milk" ads and post them all over in schools. Advertising to influence kids is sick, especially when it comes to lying about the fact that it gives you strong bones, and now everyone believes it because those posters and commercials told them lol. Also the fact that it was all flavored sugary milk, made it even worse. eesh.
I feel like they’re trying to change the kids’ palate…teaching them only to love the taste of refined sugar instead of being able to taste the natural sweetness in foods. I hate that they give my kids chocolate milk. We have severe obesity in our family so drinking calories is not really an option.
I have always hated milk. Growing up in the 60’s, we didn’t have chocolate milk until I hit high school. For the first six years of my education I didn’t drink anything at lunch because I couldn’t stand milk. And on the rare occasions my Mom would pack my lunch, what did she put in it? Milk! Knowing I hated it and wouldn’t touch it. I use it only on cereal and when I’m done with the cereal, my dog enjoys the milk.
Thank the lord i never really got into that shit. Today I rarely ever touch the stuff.
I think I would have done better in school if they had served breakfast and snacks during the day. Those familiar hunger pangs distracted me terribly. I wasn't allowed to eat or drink anywhere but the cafeteria. I think nowadays, kids can snack and drink during the day in class. Lucky kids
What the hell who don't like Chocolate milk? That's like admitting not liking ice cream. It's something you just don't say out loud.
in my oppinion-> Minerals in cow's milk are minor. Strange to think that the reason to drink milk is getting calcium.
I'm allergic to milk. It sucked at school because I didn't get anything to drink with lunch for years.
How about the Origin of Nursing Homes?
So... Were debating whether we should share resources to feed kids from low income families instead of whether we should spend money "promoting democracy" around the world
I wild have gladly drunk white milk, whole or 2% or skim if I could trust the quality! Too many times when I pulled a milk out of the refrigerator bin, some of the milk would be sour enough that I couldn't stand to drink it. By drinking chocolate milk I could stand to drink slightly sour milk, no problems.
At that time, it either never occurred to me to take a water bottle or fill up a bottle with water in case the milk was bad. In the 1970's there was a campaign to drink milk much like the campaigns to drink water today. Besides, the water fountains were not built for filling water bottles. These days they SHOULD be in every school. Like at theme parks or Meijer or Target where they have a stand to fill bottles and count the fills to show how many plastic bottles were saved from a landfill.
I never thought of bringing my milk back to the lunch lady and asking for a fresh milk. She had enough on her hands trying to serve the hundreds of students at lunchtime, and standing in line wasn't my cup of tea. In fact, if you were only buying milk, you could jump the line because getting milk was faster than getting a meal.
And again, it took me till high school to find out you could buy more than one milk at a time. There was plenty; I just didn't think about it till I saw another student do it. And at a dime per half pint, milk was super-cheap. (I also remember it at 5¢ and 3¢ per half pint, too.)
the choice of dairy during the great depression reminds me of govt cheese. like snap/food stamps got partly started to deal with a surplus of food. (although im not sure if that surplus also came with the ability to guarantee food security for everyone).
i'm also concerned about justice thomas wanting arguments to repeal child labor bans.
Does anyone see that John mulany quote at 5:57
We had milk (also, chocolate milk and strawberry milk) in school in Germany as well. Not cartons, though, but bottles, because recycling. They cost money, though, plus a deposit for the bottle.
Can you do a video on origin of birthday cakes
My school has chocolate, strawberry,and white milk
I grew up with brown paper bag lunches, and I turned out.... Oh nevermind. :-)
Even minus the power of the dairy lobby, flavored milk is still a superior drink to juices and sodas. A flavored milk is still milk and it has a lot of the nutrients growing kids need. Juice is often just empty sugar calories with limited health value and soda has basically no nutritional value whatsoever. Flavored milk is still the superior option.
Why haven't I already subscribed to this?! Problem fixed.
I'm going to say it: milk is disgusting and people should be giving kids bottled water.
