When President Donald Trump signed a law that allowed for the National School Lunch Program to distribute whole milk again, he was actually sending out a signal to neo-Nazis, so says a New York University professor.
In January, President Trump celebrated the bipartisan “Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2025,” which will allow the federally subsidized school lunch program to offer the higher-fat content dairy once against.
President Obamaremovedthe option in 2010 over fears it was contributing to childhood obesity.
The legislation passed by a voice vote in the U.S. House and unanimously in the U.S. Senate, according toRoll Call.
While many would see this as a triumph of partisan gridlock, Professor Arthur Caplan sees something much darker.
“As a student of and writer on the history of science and public health under fascist regimes, I am suspicious,” he said.
“Milk drinking is political. Drinking whole white milk has played a big role in racist and far-right thinking.”
“Fascists have used the beverage as a rallying cry for white supremacy since the days of Il Duce’s (Benito Mussolini’s)public health campaignsin Italy,”Caplanwrotein The American Journal of Bioethics.
“The Nazis were enamored of whole milk as well…In America, drinking whole milk has for years been a part ofalt-right, white nationalistmessaging in tweets, memes, andvideos.”
