For the first time in the almost 80-year history of the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), the bill will empower schools to offer a variety of plant-based milks to children. It has received bipartisan support, and was also approved unanimously by the US Senate Agriculture Committee in early June.

Trump has already threatened school lunches earlier this year. In Maine, he tried to pull funding from the entire state over some bs around trans people. Maine's governor told him to his face that she'd see him in court over it. Then a little bit later, he settled in court and gave back the funding without attaching any strings
