Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I am proud to cosponsor the GIVE MILK Act with my Pennsylvania colleague Fred Keller. The GIVE MILK Act is an important piece of legislation that gives families who use the WIC program more control over the nutrition of their children. The bill would make 2 percent and whole milk available through the WIC program to any child over the age of 2, reversing an Obama-era rule limiting WIC participants to low-fat or non-fat milk. This legislation will give families who depend on WIC more options when considering nutritional options for their children. It will also help increase milk consumption, which is a win for our dairy farmers. Whole milk has been wrongfully targeted as unhealthy in recent years, but in reality, it provides a wealth of vital nutrients that are particularly important for growing children. Including whole milk in the WIC program will provide a healthy option for those families who find themselves depending upon these benefits for essential nutrition. ____________________”
