    While I support having better access to water for everyone, milk is generally accepted by many kids, even picky ones.

    Additionally, milk does provide an opportunity to provide a minimal amount of additional vitamins for growing kids as well, mainly calcium for accident prone kids. This is likely more important for kids who aren’t getting fed properly at home. Kids need a ton of energy and chemicals to grow properly, no doubt.

    It absolutely is not a superfood. There ain’t nothing magical about it, regardless of how many milk commercials you saw growing up. For adults, there isn’t much of a benefit unless your body actually needs those vitamins.

    Disclaimer: I absolutely detest adults who swear by taking handfuls of vitamins for no reason. Vitamin deficiencies are real and if you have one, you need to be working with a doctor and not with some jackass at a supplement store.
