BILL TO ALLOW WHOLE MILK IN PA. SCHOOLS APPROVED

A measure in Pennsylvania that would supersede federal law on serving a higher fat percentage of milk in state public schools has won nearly unanimous approval in the state house. The bill to allow whole milk in Pennsylvania schools was approved 196-2 Wednesday. The measure which was introduced to help state dairy farmers means that any milk above one percent could soon be served with school meals. An identical whole-milk bill is expected to pass in the state senate.
