Local Lawmaker Makes Case For Milk

Local Lawmaker Makes Case For Milk

Western Wisconsin’s congressman wants to make it clear that milk comes from animals, not plants.

Congressman Derrick Van Orden signed-on to the Dairy Pride Act. That’s the federal plan to classify milk as coming from cows or other animals only. He says Wisconsin dairy farmers work incredibly hard to produce top-quality milk and he doesn’t want to see nut-based or vegetable-based products horn-in on their success. Wisconsin’s dairy groups are all in agreement. The Dairy Pride Act comes not long after the FDA said nut-milk producers can continue to call their products ‘milk.’
