It's great to see milk back on the Agenda in full swing for primary school children. Many schools are now starting mid-morning milk schemes and numbers per school are looking good. Milk is so important for young children to help the development of their bones and teeth. Dentists recommend only milk or water between meals, restricting fruit juice to meal times.

Milk is a natural source of calcium required for strong bones and teeth and together with fruit, can provide a healthy mid-morning snack for young children whilst at school. Taken on a daily basis, this helps to educate them away from the less healthy carbonated drinks and sugary snacks that are so readily available elsewhere.

Consumption of milk and dairy products is associated with numerous health benefits.
