“We want to do our part to educate consumers that nutritious meals do not have to cost a lot of money, ” says Steve James, Executive Director of the California Milk Processor Board (CMPB), the creators of GOT MILK?. “People do not have to give up calcium, protein and other vitamins. They just need to use ingredients that get the most nutrition bang for the buck and our holiday meal plans do that.”
