The second administration of Donald Trump has a weird fixation on whole milk, and both he and Secretary of Health RFK Jr. have spent months campaigning for the return of full-fat dairy to schools and people’s morning cereal routine.
But spoiler alert: this isn’t about your kid’s calcium intake. Heck, it’s not even about nutrition at all. (The alleged health benefits remain murky, at best.) As it turns out, this is the dairy industry finally cashing in on a decade-long lobbying campaign to reverse what Obama did to them during his tenure with the pesky ban on fatty foods.
