HARRISBURG – The PA Senate adopted Senate Resolution 119, a bipartisan measure which urges Congress and federal agencies to restore whole and 2% milk to school cafeterias across PA and the nation. The resolution calls on Congress to support the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2025 – H.R. 649 – and roll back outdated federal regulations that eliminated whole milk and severely restricted other milk options in schools. Sponsor of the resolution, Crawford County Sen. Michele Brooks says whole and 2% milk provide essential nutrients that are critical to bone health, brain development, reducing childhood obesity and overall wellness. It’s time to restore common sense to school nutrition. Brooks cited data showing a dramatic drop in student milk consumption after the 2010 law eliminating whole milk took effect.
