The White House is framing whole milk in schools as a nutrition win. It isn't.
Whole milk and low-fat milk have the same protein, calcium, vitamin D, and 13 essential nutrients. The only difference is about 50 extra calories and 5 grams of saturated fat per cup. There's some observational data suggesting kids who drink whole milk weigh less, but it's all high risk of bias, and no randomized trials have shown whole milk is actually better for them.
What would actually improve school nutrition: giving kids more than 10 minutes to eat. Scheduling recess before lunch. Funding kitchens to cook real food instead of reheating processed products. Paying cafeteria workers competitive wages so schools can actually retain staff. Upgrading equipment that's decades old. Offering more menu choices, including culturally appropriate foods. Pre-slicing fruit so kids will actually eat it.
Those cost money. Swapping milk cartons costs nothing and gets you a headline and whatever the hell that AI milk video was.
