"I am suspicious. Milk drinking is political. Drinking whole white milk has played a big role in racist and far-right thinking. In America, drinking whole milk has for years been a part of alt-right, white nationalist messaging in tweets, memes, and videos."
"Nazis were enamored of whole milk as well,"
"Our government is taking bold steps to strengthen school nutrition, including the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, which would bring whole milk back to school cafeterias,"
"To suggest otherwise is completely false."
President Trump signed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act on Jan. 14 to restore access to whole milk in school cafeterias and strengthen support for American dairy products. A New York University bioethicist criticized the legislation, asserting that whole milk consumption has been adopted as a symbol in racist, alt-right, and white nationalist messaging. The critic cited images and memes that portray white people chugging milk as signifying genetic strength and mocking non-white people. The US Department of Agriculture defended the policy as strengthening school nutrition and dismissed claims of racist intent as false. The action sparked swift public debate and backlash.
