Holy cow. Now even milk is racist.
The bipartisan push to put whole milk back on school menus is rife with secret racial meaning and smacks of bigoted messages, a lefty-lipped college professor whined.
Arthur Caplan, who teaches bioethics at New York University, slammed the feds’ latest legislation — The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, which President Trump signed on Jan. 14 — claiming whole milk has become a symbol for white supremacists.
“Nazis were enamored of whole milk as well,” he wrote in a Bioethics Today blog.
“I am suspicious. Milk drinking is political. Drinking whole white milk has played a big role in racist and far-right thinking. In America, drinking whole milk has for years been a part of alt-right, white nationalist messaging in tweets, memes, and videos.”
Caplan’s efforts to take the left’s battle against American traditions into the dairy aisle was quickly stomped under the hooves of some serious bovine backlash.
“Our government is taking bold steps to strengthen school nutrition, including the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, which would bring whole milk back to school cafeterias,” a US Department of Agriculture spokesperson told The Post. --->READ MORE HERE

When President Donald Trump signed a law that allowed for the National School Lunch Program to distribute whole milk again, he was actually sending out a signal to neo-Nazis, so says a New York University professor.
In January, President Trump celebrated the bipartisan “Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2025,” which will allow the federally subsidized school lunch program to offer the higher-fat content dairy once against. President Obama removed the option in 2010 over fears it was contributing to childhood obesity.
The legislation passed by a voice vote in the U.S. House and unanimously in the U.S. Senate, according to Roll Call. While many would see this as a triumph of partisan gridlock, Professor Arthur Caplan sees something much darker.
“As a student of and writer on the history of science and public health under fascist regimes, I am suspicious,” he said. “Milk drinking is political. Drinking whole white milk has played a big role in racist and far-right thinking.”
Here we go.
“Fascists have used the beverage as a rallying cry for white supremacy since the days of Il Duce’s (Benito Mussolini’s) public health campaigns in Italy,” Caplan wrote in The American Journal of Bioethics. “The Nazis were enamored of whole milk as well…In America, drinking whole milk has for years been a part of alt-right, white nationalist messaging in tweets, memes, and videos.” --->READ MORE HERE
