Trump signs law returning whole milk to school meals
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump signed a bill on Wednesday that returns whole milk to school cafeterias across the country.
The new law overturns Obama-era limits on higher-fat milk options that aimed to reduce obesity and disease. It allows schools participating in the National School Lunch Program to serve whole and 2% mi,lk along with the skim and low-fat products required since 2012.
It could take effect in some schools by fall.
