I work for a company that deals with school canteens & in NSW schools that are listed as the healthiest are on a canteen register. One of the schools we deal with has just brought on a child nutritionist to help with their canteen & she made the school throw out every last low fat slice of cheese, bottle of milk & tub of yoghurt because she said children need the fats in the dairy products they use.

An interesting aside to this is that removing fats from children's diets can have a detrimental affect on their health. My son as a toddler didn't have much fat in his diet, no margarine or butter because I don't like it, nothing fried, no oil etc & the only thing he had was full cream milk. He developed a condition called toddler diarrhea and had to up his fat intake so he could be healthy.

It's a lose lose situation. Too much fat & you get obesity, not enough fat & you have other problems.
