Today I was joined by farmers, educators, & nutritional experts at a press conference in announcing my bill (A.9990) to put NY-produced whole & 2% milk back in schools. Call your state Assemblyman and Senator and tell them to co-sponsor the bill and vote to bring back whole & 2%! pic.twitter.com/w4YNjsCGtX

On May 2 Chris Tague, who represents the 102nd district in the New York State Assembly, held a press conference about a bill of his that would allow schools to purchase whole and two percent milk that’s produced within the state. Tague argues that that two percent and whole milk is healthier than fat free and one percent milk. But ten years ago the federal government believed otherwise, banning whole milk nationally — and therefore in all of New York state — in 2010. So Tague's bill (A.9990) is political theater, since New York law would not supersede federal law.
