On Jan. 14, Donald Trump sat in the Oval Office and explained to the nation that “whole milk” starts with a “W.” Yes, that was his message while signing the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act into law.
On Wednesday, Trump signed a law that most Americans had never thought about and even fewer had ever asked for. He reversed Obama-era restrictions on milk fat in the National School Lunch Program. Under the old rules, public schools could only serve low-fat or fat-free milk. Now, cafeterias can offer whole milk and 2% milk back alongside existing choices.
