(NAFB) – The National Milk Producers Federation is going on the offensive, telling the American people how important dairy is to their diets and everyday lives. Miquela [McKayla] Hanselman is the Manager of Regulatory Affairs with NMPF. She says the argument that dairy isn’t important to human diets would be laughable if it were not so dangerous.
Hanselman says several studies have linked dairy consumption to numerous health benefits, including reduced inflammation, improved digestive health, and a healthier immune system. She notes that dairy is especially important to pregnant women as a source of iodine.
Hanselman adds dairy should also be a cornerstone of a healthy vegetarian diet.

The Nebraska State Dairy Association is joining the National Milk Producers Federation in hailing the reintroduction in Congress of the Dairy Pride Act. The legislation will bring clear, accurate labeling information for consumers and end harmful mislabeling of dairy foods for plant based products. Nebraska State Dairy Executive Director Kris Bousquet says the mislabeling issue hits more than just dairy producers and needs to be fixed.
He says dairy producers have a far better product that is being harmed by the mislabeling that’s been allowed to go on. Bousquet says FDA has the authority to address this but hasn’t so it’s necessary to enact the DAIRY PRIDE Act.
