US EditionTrump to Sign Bill Allowing Schools to Offer Whole and 2% Milk
The law affects nearly 30 million students in the National School Lunch Program, allowing whole and 2% milk to align with updated federal dietary guidelines.
- On Jan. 14, President Donald Trump will sign the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act at 2 p.m. ET in the Oval Office, allowing schools to offer whole and 2% milk for breakfasts and lunches.
- On Jan. 7, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. released new dietary guidelines reversing the old food pyramid to emphasize full-fat dairy, protein, and healthy fats.
- White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said the change is 'common sense' and benefits children, dairy farmers, and parents; Rogers added Trump is 'delivering on his commitment to Make America Healthy Again!'
- The law allows parents to sign off on milk substitutes for students with disabilities, replacing the prior requirement for a written statement from doctors.
- The change is part of a broader federal push toward dairy and meat, marking a significant reversal in federal dietary guidance while nutrition experts warn high-fat dairy can exceed the 10% saturated-fat threshold.
