EDT Mayor Rethinks Milk Ad Mayor Rethinks Milk Ad Mayor Tony Williams is giving more thought to participating in a milk advertising campaign. The ad would have appeared in local newspapers and on billboards. The group went to the mayor's office this morning and presented their concerns to DC health director Doctor Ivan Walks. They also passed on a basket of cows' milk alternatives like soy and rice milk, and calcium enriched orange juice.
Walks says the mayor is trying to promote healthy lifestyles.
He also says people who can't digest regular milk may try the lactose-free variety as an alternative to soda. The mayor never met with anybody from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. He went out the back way to avoid the group but ABC 7 caught up with him in Southeast Washington. But apparently the food pyramid has changed. Williams says he will have his health director recommend what to do.
