Congresswoman Says Advice to Drink Whole Milk Is ‘White Supremacy Dog Whistling’

Remember back when First Lady Michelle Obama decided to get involved in school lunches with the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010? We published a few posts by students who took photos of their "new," healthy school lunches, which were paltry, to say the least. Student athletes argued that they needed more calories. Obama said the controversial school lunches would “eventually be embraced by kids."

There was the predictable liberal backlash when Donald Trump was elected and rolled back the limitations on what could be served in schools. Apparently, "making school meals great again" means relaxing nutrition standards for federally subsidized school lunch programs, Vox posted.

Back in January, President Trump signed an executive order ending the ban on whole milk in school lunches.

"I'm gonna start drinking a lot of milk!"

Whole milk is back.

MAHA is winning.

Some made this claim at the time, but RNC Research caught Rep. Maxine Dexter calling the campaign to return whole milk to school lunches "white supremacy dog whistling."

What is amazing is how much traction Democrats seem to be getting online with this ""white supremacy" line of attack.

I'm down with the BIPOC struggle. I only drink chocolate milk and leprechaun shakes in season.
