Wisconsin Congressman Fights For Flavored Milk In Schools

Thursday, June 8th, 2023 -- 8:00 AM

(Ted Ehlen, WRN) A Wisconsin congressman is fighting a change on serving flavored milk in schools.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has proposed a ban on elementary and middle schools serving chocolate and strawberry milk,  or allowing it with a modified amount of sugar starting in the 2025-26 school year.

Northern Wisconsin Republican Representative Tom Tiffany tells WDJT-TV in Milwaukee he’ll introduce a bill this week that would require all schools to offer flavored milk.

Tiffany said the "Milk is Indisputably Liked by Kids Act," or MILK Act, was a response to what he considered to be overreach by the Biden administration.
