Matt Maddock, a Michigan state representative, recently posted a series of tweets discussing changes in milk distribution and welfare benefits in the state.
On September 24, 2025, Maddock wrote, "Soon it will be easy to get fresh from the farm Whole Milk in Michigan. Did you know raw milk doesn’t go bad? It goes to cheese https://t.co/0eILSv7piy". Later that day, he added, "Make Milkmen great again! This will allow local farms to deliver fresh milk to your house again."
In another post on the same date, Maddock commented on food assistance programs: "Because since 2021, welfare and recipients can buy fast food with BRIDGE/EBT/SNAP cards. Here is a list: https://t.co/BuElH97uqo https://t.co/1V3BvRQWxP".
Raw milk sales have been subject to ongoing debate across the United States. In Michigan, recent legislative efforts have sought to ease restrictions on the sale and delivery of raw milk directly from farms to consumers’ homes. These changes reflect broader national discussions about consumer choice and food safety.
Additionally, Michigan's food assistance program—using Bridge Cards (Michigan’s EBT)—has allowed recipients to purchase prepared foods from certain restaurants since 2021. This policy was introduced as part of an initiative to expand access for individuals who may not be able to prepare meals at home due to age or disability.
