Flavored milks like chocolate or strawberry may no longer be allowed in some schools under a federal proposal.The USDA is looking to change some aspects of school meals for children, including a focus on reducing sugar and salt intake.One of the proposed standards would only allow flavored milk at school lunches and breakfasts for high school students, meaning it would be cut as an option for elementary and middle school students. Unpaid meal debt totaled $19 million this school year Why the emphasis on flavored milk? It seems to boil down to added sugars, which can increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease.Currently, there is no added sugars limit in school meal programs, but the USDA wants to change that. They think one avenue could be dropping flavored milk for younger students.The USDA’s proposal cites an advocacy group’s findings that flavored milk is the leading source of added sugars in school breakfasts and lunches.Dr. Anthony Harris, CEO and...

(The Hill) -- Former President Barack Obama says exiting the White House helped give his marriage to Michelle Obama a boost.The 44th president was asked in a Tuesday interview with “CBS Mornings” co-host Nate Burleson about comments the former first lady had made about not liking her husband for roughly “10 years” of their union.“How do you get back in good graces?” Burleson asked Obama to laughs from the ex-commander-in-chief.“Let me just say this: It sure helps to be out of the White House and to have a little more time with her,” Obama replied.In an interview last month with “CBS Mornings’” Gayle King, Michelle Obama opened up about her relationship.“We’ve been married for 30 years,” she told King. “If I fell out with him for 10 [years,] and we had a great 20 years, I’d take those odds anytime.” Michelle Obama: ‘We’ve been married for 30 years,’ and 20 of them were ‘great’ The Obamas tied the knot in 1992.The 61-year-old former president said Tuesday ...
