Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on whole milk in schools: recommends

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. backed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, signed in January 2026, which returned whole milk to school meal programs. Kennedy called the prior low-fat-only guidance for school milk “antiquated,” per The MAHA Report.

Kennedy’s stated reasoning connects to his broader dietary message: that saturated-fat fears driving decades of school nutrition policy were misplaced, and that children should have access to whole, less-processed foods. AP coverage of his July 2025 remarks to the National Governors Association (via mnnofa.com) reported him touting whole milk and beef tallow as part of that case.
