<h3 class="h-girdo-m">How do we make our oat drinks?</h3>
<p>Our oat base is just oats and water. But it&rsquo;s <a href="../../../oatly-who/our-process" target="_self">what we do</a> with those oats and that water that makes Oatly so special.</p>

<h2 class="h-toni-noveau-pro-xs-umlauts">1. What is the EU School Scheme?</h2>
<p>It is a financial aid given to schools in the EU for them to buy fruit, vegetables, and milk for school children. <a href="../../../things-we-do/initiatives/schoolmilk/what-is-the-eu-school-milk-scheme" target="_self">Read more</a></p>

<h3 class="h-toni-noveau-pro-xs-umlauts">2. Why are you starting a petition against the Scheme?&nbsp;</h3>
<p>We&rsquo;re not. We&rsquo;re petitioning for the Scheme to include plant-based drinks. <a href="../../../things-we-do/initiatives/schoolmilk/purpose-of-eu-school-scheme" target="_self">Read more</a></p>

<h3 class="h-toni-noveau-pro-xs-umlauts">3. Why is Oatly doing this right now?&nbsp;</h3>
<p>Because the scheme is being reviewed now and the European Commission wants to hear what people think. So&hellip; now&rsquo;s the chance for us all to voice the need for the inclusion of fortified plant-based drinks. <a href="../../../things-we-do/initiatives/schoolmilk/food-and-global-warming" target="_self">Read more</a></p>

<h3 class="h-toni-noveau-pro-xs-umlauts">4. Aren&rsquo;t you doing this just to sell more oat drinks?&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>
<p>Yes. We want to sell more oat drinks to help fix the broken food system. But other brands of plant-based drink are also beneficial in mitigating climate change. <a href="../../../things-we-do/initiatives/schoolmilk/what-is-oatly-doing" target="_self">Read more</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h3 class="h-toni-noveau-pro-xs-umlauts">5. Are you sure that plant-based drinks are actually good for kids?&nbsp; &nbsp;</h3>
<p>Yep. Fortified plant-based drinks can of course provide minerals and vitamins of importance to children. For example, we fortify our Oatly products with calcium which is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, as well as vitamin D, vitamin B12, riboflavin. In addition our Oat Drink Original contains unsaturated fats and fibers.*&nbsp; <a href="../../../things-we-do/initiatives/schoolmilk/milk-consumption-in-eu-school-scheme" target="_self">Read more</a></p>

<h3 class="h-toni-noveau-pro-xs-umlauts">6. But isn't cow&rsquo;s milk essential for strong bones?&nbsp;</h3>
<p>Well&hellip; It&rsquo;s calcium and physical activity that is key, and fortified plant-based drinks usually contain around the same amount of calcium per 100 ml as cow&rsquo;s milk does. Also, we&rsquo;re not saying &ldquo;take cow&rsquo;s milk away from the EU School Scheme&rdquo;, we&rsquo;re saying &ldquo;give kids the possibility to choose fortified plant-based drinks&rdquo;! <a href="../../../things-we-do/initiatives/schoolmilk/food-and-health-for-children" target="_self">Read more&nbsp;</a></p>

<h3 class="h-toni-noveau-pro-xs-umlauts">7. How would giving kids the option of plant-based drinks in schools make a difference? &nbsp;</h3>
<p>Our eating habits as children influence what we eat for most of our lives*. So providing children with options can encourage them to eat complete, healthy and more sustainable plant-based diets for the rest of their lives. <a href="../../../things-we-do/initiatives/schoolmilk/plant-based-effect-on-climate-change" target="_self">Read more</a></p>

<p>In general plant-based products have a lower environmental impact than animal-based products.* <a href="../../../things-we-do/initiatives/schoolmilk/limit-climate-change" target="_self">Read more</a>&nbsp;</p>
