Trump Signs Bill Allowing Whole Milk Back In School Meals
20 hours ago
U.S. children could soon drink whole milk at school for the first time in nearly 15 years after President Donald Trump on Wednesday (January 14) signed a law allowing the beverage to be served alongside low-fat and fat-free alternatives.
The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, which will expand milk options for nearly 30 million children who eat school meals, enacts a longstanding priority of the dairy industry dating back to the administration of former President Barack Obama.
"These changes will be major victories for the American dairy farmers, who we love and who voted for me in great numbers," Trump said at the White House on Wednesday.
The law is also aligned with the administration's Make America Healthy Again agenda, named for the social movement that backs Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The administration has promoted other MAHA priorities like curbing childhood vaccines and discouraging the use of artificial dyes in food.
"This is exactly the kind of practical change that will make America healthy again," Kennedy said at the White House.
