What would you do if the White House called and asked you to get on a plane the next day to be part of a bill signing? For several dairy farmers this week, that whirlwind invitation became reality.


The occasion? President Donald Trump signing the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act into law, legislation aimed at giving students across the country access to whole milk in school lunches, a move the administration is calling “common sense” for both nutrition and parental choice.


“Whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, whole milk is … a great thing,” Trump said during the signing, surrounded by farmers, legislators and a giant bottle of milk on the desk. “I’m delighted to sign the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act into law, which is very important for our farmers and maybe even more important for the people that drink milk.”
