  I'll be sending my kids to school with soy to replace their dairy unless this type of change takes root. Considering the stronghold of subsidies, and considering my location, I have little hope. But I wonder what happened with this case?
urlLink CNN.com - Food fight: Soy pushes for space in schools - Mar. 3, 2003 : "Soybean growers and the soy foods industry are pushing the government to reimburse schools that decide to offer soy milk as well as cow's milk. They say it is a healthy option, particularly for youngsters who have trouble digesting milk. Under current law, school districts can be reimbursed for soy milk or lactose-free milk only if a student has a doctor's note.
Dairy farmers, who for years have held the beverage monopoly in the federal school lunch program, are resisting the change. They say nothing is as healthy as cow's milk with its calcium and vitamins A and D. The Senate Agriculture Committee plans to take up the issue Tuesday when it holds its first hearing on reauthorizing the National School Lunch Act, which subsidizes school meals. "
