Fighting to Sell Junk Food to Kids: Really, Grocery Manufacturers? That's Your Highest Priority?

Dear Mr. Jacobson,

Appreciate the work your organization is doing! America (and her children) have never been fatter or sicker and it's so strange we can't seem to figure out why. The good news - the tide is changing.

When high school football linemen ask their moms to bring oranges for the sideline, your high schooler is frustrated she can't get water in the cafeteria school lunch line (but she can get chocolate cow's milk) and your youngest begs you to make school lunch...

Many of the moms (and dads) that I know call chocolate cow's milks, "sports" drinks, soda, and breakfast cereals:

-Candy in a carton
-Candy in a bottle
-Candy in a can
-Candy in a box

It's actually good news that the food and beverage industry is putting all their resources towards this. It means they're on the defensive!
Is this can of chemicals really heart healthy?
