"More than a decade after the Obama-era move to generally prohibit whole and 2% milk in schools as part of an effort to lower rates of obesity among children, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and some lawmakers are arguing for the beverage’s return.

Kennedy, secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services, recently called the US Dietary Guidelines for Americans “antiquated” and said he’s pushing Head Start programs to switch from low-fat dairy to full-fat dairy, including whole milk.

The US Senate has also taken up the cause, with the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition & Forestry holding a hearing Tuesday on the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act. The measure would allow higher-fat milks in school meal programs, in addition to fat-free (skim) and low-fat milk already required to be available for children over age 2. There’s a corresponding bill in the US House of Representatives. Both bills were introduced by Republican lawmakers in January but have bipartisan support."

CNN · Why RFK Jr. wants to return whole milk to schoolsBy Kristen Rogers

I was really hoping for a lot better/stronger flavor for the new strawberry flavored Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.

Straight out of the box it's decently good. Once in milk, it loses the strawberry flavor almost instantly.

The cinnamon flavoring isn't as strong either, I guess because of the strawberry flavoring.

Overall, not happy with it and wish it were considerably better.

I've been on a fermentation kick lately, and I'm loving these silicone airlock lids. Here's some pictures of one on a jar of filmjölk I made, a yogurt-adjacent Swedish fermented milk product that's fermented at room temperatures (20-25.5°C/68-78°).

They fit snugly inside the mason jar. I have another on a jar of kombucha at the moment.
