Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act Advances out of Committee

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Glenn “GT” Thompson today issued a statement following the Committee on Education and Workforce’s approval of the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act: The bill was approved by a bipartisan vote of 24 to 10.

"For far too long, milk has been demonized, denying an entire generation of students access to 13 essential nutrients vital for their health and academic performance. I’m glad to see the bipartisan Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act advance through committee and one step closer toward consideration on the House Floor. I look forward to restoring access to this nutritious option for our schools across the country.”
