Whole milk headed back to school cafeterias after Trump signs law as experts tout benefits

President Donald Trump signed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act into law Wednesday — a piece of legislation that brings whole milk and 2% milk back into schools.

Obama-era USDA school-meal rules — under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act — previously banned whole milk, requiring schools to only offer fat-free, low-fat, flavored or unflavored milk options.

"With this legislation, schools will finally be able to expand their offerings to include nutritious whole milk," the president said during the signing.
