The US Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry held a hearing this week to review Senate Bill 222 the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids act which is aimed at improving Children’s Health. We reached out to Georgia Milk Producer’s Executive Director Bryce Trotter for his take on the legislation and the hearing. In his opening statement, Chairman John Boozman said, “We know that America is facing an obesity challenge, and nutrition is under a microscope. When it comes to the diet of children, we know there are a number of health challenges facing young students—including childhood obesity, access, evolving nutrient science, and many others. The school meal programs are key in addressing children’s health, by providing nutritious, balanced meals to ensure students have the fuel they need to be successful in the classroom.
