The Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative, one of the largest dairy cooperatives in the country based on milk volume, is celebrating the passage of the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act (S. 222) through the Senate Agriculture Committee with strong bipartisan support.
The bill expands the milk and beverage options available to schools and strengthens the schools’ ability to choose the best option that meets their students’ nutritional needs.
Among the wider variety of options are whole milk and 2%, both of which are filled with nutrients children need to grow and develop.
Moving out of committee, the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act is one step closer to becoming law and providing a practical, bipartisan solution for school nutritional programs.
