Wisconsin farmers back whole and 2% milk in U.S. schools

Описание: Wisconsin farmers are discussing the benefits of whole milk.

It comes as President Donald Trump signed Wednesday the "Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act", which returns whole and 2% milk to school lunches. The bill overturned Obama-era limits on higher-fat milk options.

The new bill will not remove skim or 1% milk from school lunches. Rather, those were previously the only kinds of milk that could be served in schools.

Dairy farmers in Wisconsin say it's a step in the right direction.

Edge Dairy Cooperative said this bill will help keep the dairy market active.

Jamie Witcpalek, a Northeast Wisconsin dairy farmer and member of Edge Dairy Cooperative, was in the Oval Office as the bill was signed by Trump.

Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. touted the health benefits of whole milk for children during Wednesday's signing.

The milk is expected to be integrated as an option for schools by the start of the 2026-27 school year.
