More salt will be permitted. Flavored sugared milk is ok. Whole grain rich foods are cut back. These are some of the new rules announced by Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue. The changes were backed by the “School Nutrition Association,” a lobbying group that includes many of the country’s largest food companies.
Why was this done? Because the standards that were replaced had been advocated by Michelle Obama. If the Obama administration did something, the Trump administration will do its utmost to overturn it. They really do hate Obama.
