New Law Reintroduces Whole Milk in U.S. School Cafeterias

President Trump signed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, revoking Obama-era limits to allow whole and 2% milk (and nondairy options meeting nutrition standards) in schools participating in the National School Lunch Program, affecting about 30 million students.

Critics argued that whole milk is less healthy than lower-fat alternatives and advocated for promoting nondairy options.
