Defending Dairy's Role in a Healthy Diet
Two major initiatives with an immense impact on dairy – the Child Nutrition Act and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans – are under review this year, and IDFA has worked tirelessly to be engaged, vocal and visible during the ongoing review process. From Senate and U.S. Department of Agriculture hearings to editorial columns and filed comments, IDFA leaders continue to deliver the message that dairy products are a nutrient-rich, cost-effective and important part of a healthy diet.
