WHEREAS, the Minnesota Milk Producers Association believes that the State of Minnesota should support a healthy school environment which improves access to foods which contribute to a healthy diet, such as high quality whole milk, and limits access to those which do not; and

WHEREAS, the availability of high quality milk through various venues in our schools is key to supporting healthy dietary choices. 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT:

RESOLVED, that the State of Minnesota encourage the presentation of healthy beverages including milk, at competitive prices, in the school lunch line, along side other healthy beverages sold in school vending machines or school stores throughout the state; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that every effort be made to present milk products in the most desirable packaging and at the most desirable temperature in school settings.
