American Dairy Coalition applauds introduction of GIVE MILK Act
The bill, officially titled, “Giving Increased Variety to Ensure Milk into the Lives of Kids (GIVE MILK) Act,” would expand WIC offerings.
The ADC said it, and the dairy producers it represents, are thankful Congressman Keller “is dedicated to ensuring nutritionally at-risk Americans have the ability to choose what dairy products fit the taste preferences of their families.”
The WIC program provides federal grants to states for supplemental foods, nutritional education and other support for low-income pregnant or postpartum women as well as caregivers of children under 5.
The ADC added more initiatives such as the GIVE MILK Act are necessary to change what it called the “antiquated and unscientifically based notion that saturated fats are dangerous to public health.”
