Nominee Rollins supports whole milk in schools

The person likely to lead the USDA under President Trump is a supporter of whole milk in American diets.

During the Senate confirmation hearing for USDA Secretary Nominee Brooke Rollins, Senator and Dr. Roger Marshall poured himself a glass of milk and asked Rollins if she agreed whole milk is the most nutritious drink known to humankind and belongs in school lunches.  Rollins told the Senator she learned from her mother. “Senator, I don’t know that you have met my mom yet but this is all we had in our refrigerator growing up. Not anything else, just whole milk. She is absolutely never going to let us forget this, the fact that this is coming up, but yes, this hits home to be very quickly.”

Marshall supports Congressman Glenn GT Thompson’s Whole Milk for Healthy Kids legislation, and encouraged Rollins to help bring whole milk back to school if confirmed as Ag Secretary.
