U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Chairman John Boozman (R-AR) issued a statement after President Trump signed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act into law. The legislation allows whole and reduced-fat milk options to return to school lunch programs alongside low-fat and fat-free choices.
“Today is a milestone for the health and well-being of children nationwide. The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act ensures whole and reduced-fat milk choices return to school lunch programs alongside low-fat and fat-free options.
I am proud to have worked with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to advance this legislation through the Senate and into law. By restoring these healthy, nutritious milk beverages to school cafeterias, we are helping fuel young people’s success in the classroom and supporting America’s outstanding dairy producers.”
