    No, they would not discourage that as some kids need the calcium from milk because they do not eat green veggies enough.

    Milk can be a healthy drink but it should not be your primary drink.

      Milk and dairy in general are far too unhealthy for me to consider them something we should be pushing kids to drink. There are much better sources for things like calcium.

        Source on better sources for calcium than dairy? Remember bioavailability of the calcium is going to be a more important factor than the amount of calcium present.
