It's really strange seeing pre-HD TV/movie makeup. The white on his lips looks so weird, but with a crappy TV it gave the right effect.
Props too, look at the Enterprise D in 4k and it looks way more fake than it did on the old CRT. The blemishes that give it away blur together to make it look way better on screen. Watch Adam Savage's Tested - The Next Generation Filming Model! if you'd like to know more.

The sets look worse too; on the blu-ray discs you can see shit like screws holding the consoles together, dirt on the floor, scuff marks on the edges of stuff from the actors' shoes and such.
Funnily enough Voyager can't get a similar remake because it was shot on tape, so the masters are 480i and that's the best you're going to get.
Is chocolate milk really that much less healthy than regular 2% milk? AFAICT they are basically the same, with the former having an extra 5g or so of added sugar per 8oz glass. It’s much better for you than, say, apple juice which is almost entirely just sugar.
Your mistake was comparing it to apple juice, which is basically just as sweet as a soda
Milk should just not be given to children at all in school. I don’t understand why we can’t have kids drink just fucking water. We shouldn’t be encouraging kids to drink sugary anything. Calcium and protein can come from so many other sources. I never understood milk as a lunch drink option as a kid and I don’t understand it now.
While I support having better access to water for everyone, milk is generally accepted by many kids, even picky ones.
Additionally, milk does provide an opportunity to provide a minimal amount of additional vitamins for growing kids as well, mainly calcium for accident prone kids. This is likely more important for kids who aren't getting fed properly at home. Kids need a ton of energy and chemicals to grow properly, no doubt.
It absolutely is not a superfood. There ain't nothing magical about it, regardless of how many milk commercials you saw growing up. For adults, there isn't much of a benefit unless your body actually needs those vitamins.
Disclaimer: I absolutely detest adults who swear by taking handfuls of vitamins for no reason. Vitamin deficiencies are real and if you have one, you need to be working with a doctor and not with some jackass at a supplement store.
The main thing people get from milk is, depending on the country, vitamin D, which isn't naturally occurring there and is best obtained by just getting some sun, and the fat, which most people cut out of it. Milk's calcium absorption is, at best, around 30% and not a great source of calcium. You get better calcium intake from leafy greens and nuts (~50% absorption). Also, there has not been a definitive link between additional bone density from calcium and brittle bones. Japan and India are still mostly lactose intolerant and have fewer hip fractures than America, which has one of the highest milk intakes in the world. It's more likely manual labor and sunlight is better for bone health.
The idea that milk is healthy is part of misunderstandings that have been taken as fact for decades, but it's not really. It's not junk food... until you start adding even more sugar to an already surprisingly sugary drink.
Quickly found source concerning meta analysis and milk's health benefits
Milk really doesn’t do much for children, especially the supposed link to “bone health”. If kids are not properly fed at home, the same argument can be made that we should be making sure they at least get actual water to drink at school. Alternatively, there are plant milk options that can actually be healthier or more vitamin-rich than cow’s milk.

It is a easy way to insure that the kids get access to some healthy nutrition. Youd be amazed and appalled by how much shit some children are fed at home.
What the fuck are you talking about milk is amazing. Look at the macros and you quickly realize it is exactly what kids need. Milk fat protein and sugars all natural.
It arguably had more protein than almost any other school food.
You people are fucking nuts.

Is there to support the dairy industry
Milk should just not be given to children at all in school
in most of the world, it isn't.

The dairy industry has a strong lobby. There's no reason to drink milk from a cow or any other non-human animal.
Ask yourself "Am I a baby cow?" If the answer is "No", then you shouldn't be drinking cows' milk.
Are you an animal of prey? No? Then you shouldn't be eating lamb's meat.
No argument here.

Which Congresscritter
A quick google search shows it's Elise Stefanik, a New York republican
Edit: I'm an idiot. Tom Tiffany, Wisconsin republican (Of fucking course it's Wisconsin)
Wisconsin, the home of lactose.
I'm Wisconsin intolerant.
Aren't we all? Thankfully, it has a low risk of exposure.
He probably thinks he's making a clever point about Wisconsin considering legalizing marijuana. They're perpetually tone deaf.
No, he’s just been bought and paid for by Wisconsin dairy farmers.
Hey Wisconsin isn't that bad
No... well, it is, but I think they meant of course Wisconsin because of the dairy industry.
