Legislation to Reintroduce Whole Milk in Schools Gains Bipartisan Support
Federal lawmakers are pushing to allow whole and 2% milk back in schools, aiming to revise outdated dietary guidelines for student nutrition.
Overview
Bipartisan efforts in Congress are underway to reintroduce whole and 2% milk in school meals, reversing a 2012 ban aimed at reducing childhood obesity. Nutrition advocates argue that whole milk offers essential nutrients and may aid in preventing obesity among children. Current USDA regulations require milk to be low-fat or fat-free, but experts suggest the data supporting this ban is outdated. As dietary guidelines undergo revision, debates continue regarding the benefits of whole milk for children's health.
