This book examines one of the most contested issues in contemporary school nutrition policy: the role of whole milk in the National School Lunch Program. It traces the evolving debate surrounding federal milk standards and the scientific, political, and institutional forces shaping current proposals, including the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act. The analysis considers how federal regulations influence school meal offerings as well as broader discussions about children’s dietary well-being. Ultimately, the book offers a clear and balanced understanding of the stakes and implications of revising milk standards in U.S. schools.
