The "Giving Increased Variety to Ensure Milk Into the Lives of Kids Act," or GIVE MILK Act, proposes to amend the Child Nutrition Act of 1966. Its primary purpose is to grant participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) greater flexibility in their milk choices. Under this proposed change, individuals receiving milk through WIC, or their parents or guardians, would be able to elect to be issued nonfat, low-fat, reduced-fat, or whole milk . This legislative change would require the Secretary of Agriculture to revise existing regulations, including section 246.10 of title 7, Code of Federal Regulations, to reflect these new options. The bill's findings highlight that most Americans, including children, do not consume adequate dairy and that milk is a vital source of essential nutrients. It also notes that medical professionals agree whole milk is beneficial for childhood development between ages one and two, supporting the need for varied milk options within the WIC program.
