Now that he's the top Republican on the House Agriculture Committee, U.S. Rep. Glenn "G.T." Thompson is continuing to work on getting whole milk back into schools.
"I think most folks in Washington, including (Ag Secretary) Tom Vilsack, know my goal of restoring whole milk in our school districts," Thompson said during an April 6 meeting with 97 Milk, a whole milk advocacy group, at the Durlach-Mt. Airy Fire Co.
U.S. Rep. Glenn "G.T." Thompson fears a generation of milk drinkers may have been lost due to a decade-old federal policy that prohibits whole milk being served to students in schools.
That leaves only skim and 1% milk, which, the congressman realizes, many children likely consider less flavorful. Therefore, they get turned off to milk.
