Trump signs law allowing whole milk in school lunches

Trump signs law allowing whole milk in school lunches

President Trump recently signed a new law that lets schools serve whole milk again.

Before this, schools could only give low-fat or fat-free milk to kids.

This change is good news for dairy farmers and some lawmakers who think whole milk is healthier.

The law will take a few weeks to start.

The government also recently said that full-fat dairy is good for you, which is a big change from old advice.

Some people think this will help kids drink more milk at school.

However, others believe that low-fat and fat-free milk are better for combating childhood obesity.

The new law is part of a bigger plan called MAHA, which aims to make America healthier.
