When you see food/health culture-war stories dominate headlines, immediately check what major institutional actions (DOJ prosecutions, election administration changes, agency purges) happened in the same 72-hour window.
This is a textbook distraction event: a minor nutritional policy change (whole milk in schools) branded with Trump's name and released during a week featuring major constitutional threats (denaturalization campaign, state-by-state election control plan). The policy has zero constitutional implications but maximum culture-war meme-ability ('government telling parents what kids can drink'). Media coverage vastly exceeds governance substance—it's a school lunch beverage option, not a fundamental rights issue.
