The video "Origin of Everything: Why Do We Drink Milk in School?" explores the history and significance of milk consumption in U.S. schools. It delves into the National School Lunch Act of 1946 initiated by President Truman, explaining how it became integral to food assistance programs alongside the School Breakfast Program. The discussion includes how these entitlement programs aim to provide nutritious meals to lower-income students, highlighting government subsidies for the dairy industry. The video addresses critical themes regarding government responsibility in providing school meals and the role of milk, a subsidized commodity, which often involves debates about nutrition—milk's high calcium content versus its sugary flavored variants. These topics engage with broader political discussions about the allocation of government resources and the criteria for support. The relevance of the program is underlined as it helps secure the health and nutrition of students, essential for their educational performance.
