Currently, schools are allowed to serve fat-free or 1% milk. The proposed changes would allow for 2% and whole milk to be offered.
ENUMCLAW, Wash. — Schools across the nation are facing a dairy dilemma. Should whole milk be re-introduced to school lunches?
Northwest dairy cooperative Darigold has been vocally supporting the change, with Krainick Dairy owner Leann Krainick among those weighing in. Sarah Amin is the director of Community Nutrition Education at the University of Rhode Island and researches issues related to pediatric nutrition. She said school breakfast and lunch programs have a huge impact on student learning, and that the 2010 Act was meant to ensure school meals are healthy for students to consume.
Several registered dietitians provided insight on what parents should know when choosing between dairy milk options for their children. They were not asked to weigh in on policy-making.
