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.

As a kid that didn't understand lactose intolerance until my 20s, this would be life-changing. Instead of discomfort and the urge to shit my pants on a daily basis, I could have felt normal. I regularly had to stop and clench my cheeks together on the walk home from the bus stop after holding farts in all afternoon.
