There is so much great innovation going on at the state level, spurred on by growing recognition that #ultraprocessedfoods harm kids. The Texas Senate just passed a bill that will put PE back in schools and getting toxic chemicals out of school meals. Way to go, Texas! @texassenategop.bsky.social

The FDA cut nearly 700 staff, gutting food safety teams reviewing additives and contamination risks. Former Deputy Commissioner Jim Jones resigned in protest. Some staff are being rehired, but oversight remains uncertain. Will food safety weaken or improve? #FDA #MAHA

Have you heard of "food deserts"? Approximately 24 million Americans live in food deserts where ultra-processed foods are abundant, yet fresh food is scarce.
