The Milk for Schools program had some definite benefits and a few negative aspects.
Warm, partly-curdled milk left out in the sun until morning recess wasn’t appetising and a lot of students rejected it.
For some economically challenged families, it was a bonus.
I know of children whose parents could only afford to serve their cornflakes with water.
The one thing I must say is that very few of my generation had milk allergies or lactose intolerance or sensitivity. Maybe it was all that school milk.
