Students may soon find themselves crying over spilled milk – chocolate milk, in particular – if a plan to eliminate flavored milk from school cafeterias goes into effect.

Under a new proposal from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, flavored milk would be limited in high schools and totally banned in elementary and middle schools in a bid to "reduce children's risk of chronic disease" starting as soon as the 2025-2026 school year.
