Herbert,
The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act has passed through committee votes with bipartisan support, and it’s now sitting in the Senate for a full vote. This is a great program to make sure kids have access to whole milk in schools.
As a dairy farmer, I can tell you firsthand the benefits of whole milk: it’s almost 97% fat-free and packed full of nutrients for kids to help them get through a full day of school and activities. Research shows that whole milk is a healthier option for kids than alternatives, helping support growth, bone strength, and long-term wellness. But right now, most American children are not receiving the recommended daily intake of dairy.
That’s why I’m calling on Senate Leadership to pass this bipartisan bill and bring whole milk back to schools!
If you’re with me, will you add your name to our petition today to tell leaders in Washington to pass the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act?
