Chocolate milk is coming back on the school lunch menu.
So is white bread and saltier food.
Several paragraphs tucked into in a massive 1,665-page government spending bill released on Monday would relax Obama-era nutrition standards for school lunches.
On page 101 of the spending bill due for congressional votes later this week, the Secretary of Agriculture is directed to allow states to grant schools exemptions so they can serve flavored, low-fat milk and bread products that are not whole grain rich.
“If kids aren’t eating the food, and it’s ending up in the trash, they aren’t getting any nutrition – thus undermining the intent of the program,” Purdue said. He said school food rules cost districts and states an extra $1.22 billion in fiscal year 2015.

I don’t want Obama rules or Obamacare “relaxed”.
I want them REPEALED!!!!
WTH is the point of voting Republican if the damned Republicans are going to just moderate the Democrat policies?
All i wanna know is when are they gonna reintroduce Foie gras on the school menu again?
Especially when the dumbocraps will just put the rules back in if they get back in charge
REPEAL THE G**&T%*M THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They're not getting a good balance.
Oh, the humanity!
Will a federal judge overrule this too.
Trump does complete capitulation on budget negotiations but, in a crucial win for the administration and the american people, kids can get choco milk at school again!!!!
The Republicans are SCREWING UP!
ALL of these type things need to be CHANGED BY LAW !!!
Any executive action will simply be undone by the next Democrat!
WHAT THE HECK ARE REPUBLICANS THINKING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???
***WHAT THE HECK ARE REPUBLICANS THINKING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??****
...they are thinking about their cushy jobs they will get once they leave congress from their money masters.
Loosening Michelle Obama’s Nanny State PING!
Still giving respect to the Ebola rules by saying Trump is "relaxing" them. Gotta get some urinalists who won't let the dumbest people in the room define the vocabulary.
When I was growing up in Detroit in the 1960’’s, Whole milk was one cent a carton, while Chocolate Milk was 2 cents a carton.
They came in triage shaped cartons with little pull off paper tabs where the straw went.
Trump just created thousands of little Republicans.
The primary primary is definitely a lock for DJT in 2020.
Exactly. I heard a self-proclaimed “nutritionist” on the radio spewing outrage at the move away from nonfat milk in school lunches. Never mind that a growing number of physicians are saying that the diabetes epidemic is connected to low-fat diets.
MAGA!
Chocolate milk never left most schools.
But some regular pasta would be welcome at schools which have had to serve cardboard whole wheat pasta. And cardboard rolls.
