Hey, it was none other than U.S. President Ronald Reagan who claimed that
ketchup on a school child's lunch tray qualified as a vegetable.  Of course,
he was also famous for saying "Seen one redwood, seen them all."

The ignorance of some people and/or their eating patterns (no vegetables)
should not be an excuse to allow the promotion of milk as being NECESSARY
for all pregnant women or else their babies will have weak bones.
