like i said on the other milk thread, i drink whole milk several times a day and go through about 1/2 pint of cream each 2 days and i only weigh 99 lbs. i used to drink it several times a day as a kid and was always underweight.
i think it's ridiculous not to give your kids milk. they need it! if Parents would make them eat thier veggies and fruit and make them participate in sports, kids wouldn't BE so chubby. it was different even when I was growing up, and i'm only 24. my Parents sure as heck made me and my Brother get involved with sports (i did gymnastics, basketball and softball) and have our veggies and sent us outside to play if we were just lounging around, and it paid off.
