Summary
Fat in milk does not count. That’s great news for dairy lovers!
Unfortunately, it’s simply not true and the science just doesn’t add up. Yet, that is the premise of new legislation that would return whole-fat milk with 5 grams of saturated fat per serving, representing a quarter of an entire day’s limit, to school lunches across the United States.
While the fat from the pizza, hamburgers, french fries, and other food on cafeteria trays is totaled up, the largest source of saturated fat is being totally disregarded. Why is that?
Double-board-certified pediatrician Dr. Yami and Andrew Binovi, director of government affairs for the Physicians Committee, join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to discuss the bill and why fat in milk is being ignored.
The nutrition numbers don’t add up, but the rates of childhood diseases are mounting.

| 0:00.0 | Today on the exam room. |
| 0:04.4 | Correct me if I'm wrong. |
| 0:06.0 | Whole Milk has been out of schools since the Obama administration, right? |
| 0:11.2 | What year was it originally taken out? 2012 and the reason it |
| 0:14.8 | was taken out was because of concerns about saturated fab. But what's probably |
| 0:20.0 | more insidious about this is it would say dairy milk is exempt from any school |
| 0:25.4 | lunch requirements when it comes to saturated fat. Is the saturated fat that is |
| 0:30.0 | found in whole milk somehow magical and just does not affect our body and our health |
| 0:34.6 | in the same way that saturated fat from literally any other source would do. |
| 0:38.3 | That's a confusing answer. |

| 1:17.0 | Let's go ahead and go to fantasy land, a land where you can pick anything that is on the table at your meal and the |
| 1:26.2 | fat that is in that one thing does not count toward your total for the day. |
| 1:32.2 | It could be the main dish, it could be the side dish, it could be in this case what you're drinking. |
| 1:38.2 | Because this magical fantasy land is actually, possibly coming to your child's school. This is the genesis or the idea |
| 1:51.1 | behind the Whole Milk for healthy kids legislation. It completely ignores |
