President to Sign Bill Allowing Return of Whole Milk in Schools
The legislation complements the new ‘upside-down’ food pyramid unveiled by federal agencies last week.

President Donald Trump will sign the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act on Wednesday, overhauling previous U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines that required milk served in school cafeterias to be fat-free or low-fat.
Now, schools have the freedom to serve whole milk, flavored or unflavored, as well as organic milk.
