New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik along with nearly 30 other congressional representatives on Wednesday slammed the Biden administration's proposal to reduce the amount of milk given out as part of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), arguing that it will "exacerbate the crisis families are already facing with skyrocketing prices at the grocery store."
According to the bipartisan joint letter addressed to Department of Agriculture Secretary Thomas J. Vilsack, the proposed rule would "result in a substantial reduction in the maximum monthly allowance (MMA) for milk through the WIC program."
"The current MMA for children 12 to 23 months old is 16 quarts," the letter reads. "Under the proposed rule, this amount would be reduced to 12 quarts, a total monthly reduction of 4 quarts."
The statement went on to describe how the milk allotment would be reduced for toddlers aged 2-4 as well as pregnant or breastfeeding mothers as well.
"These substantial reductions in the amount of milk parents can buy for their children will exacerbate the crisis families are already facing with skyrocketing prices at the grocery store," the representatives wrote.
The Department of Agriculture announced the changes on November 22, stating that they would "reduce the amount of milk provided in all child, pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding participant food packages" and add "soy-based" yogurts and cheeses as "substitutions for milk."

It's for the children cuz Democrats care so much.
And besides less milk for babies and toddlers will free up more money to go to Ukraine.
The big guy needs his 10% in kickbacks. That's what is important, not American children's milk.
There is one reason, one root cause of ALL the bad things going on. UNTIL that reason and root cause is totally eliminated, we are just nitpicking at each and every bad thing,
Good morning ladies, gentlemen and all you merry “its” out there.
Welcome to today’s episode of the Joe Joe The Clown Show!!!
The show where we can actually watch the jokes just write themselves.
In today’s episode, we see Joe Joe The Clown wanting to cut back on milk to infants! Yes folks, cutting back on milk will make em grow stronger and faster than ever before. It’s the infants’ “fair share” in help reducing the deficit, and of course, to help finance “something” in the Ukraine!!!!
Great job, infants and be sure to continue your support for “our democracy!!!! /S
A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take it all away...
If this had been proposed by a Republican - it would have been ALL over the freaking news, 24/7: “Republicans want to kill babies!”
Since a substantial amount goes to illegals this is horrible.
” and add “soy-based” yogurts and cheeses as “substitutions for milk.””
...aaaaand it’s the Vegans.
Biden Administration: “Shut up and take it, you tax-paying suckers”.
Bingo
If we don’t kill’em in the womb or stave’em in infancy, we will have to give’em a mRNA vaccine in their youth. C’mon folks, get with the movement.
