| | Every school day, roughly 30 million American kids eat lunch provided by their school. For too long, that's meant highly processed food loaded with added sugars, artificial dyes, and empty calories instead of real nourishment. | USDA has launched the Pledge for Healthier School Meals, a voluntary commitment inviting states to strengthen school meal and snack programs now, instead of waiting years for federal standards to fully phase in. It's built on the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which prioritize whole, minimally processed foods; quality protein and full-fat dairy; healthy fats and fiber-rich whole grains; and less added sugar and fewer refined carbs. | Now, USDA is asking Governors to sign the Pledge for Healthier School Meals and make their states leaders in bringing real food back to school cafeterias. Send a message to your Governor today and urge them to sign the pledge and make your state a national leader in healthier school meals! You can view the full pledge here. | The MAHA Action legislative tracker makes emailing your lawmakers simple.
