The law, which Gov. Gavin Newsom signed on Wednesday, sets a 10-year deadline for the change to take place.
A new law will make California the first state to phase some ultraprocessed food out of school meals.
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation Wednesday that prohibits public schools from serving children what it describes as “ultraprocessed foods of concern” in breakfasts or lunches. The policy sets a 10-year deadline for the change to take place.
It defines such foods as those that pose the greatest risks to consumers based on scientific evidence of adverse health outcomes, and it directs the state Public Health Department to determine which particular products meet the definition by June 2028.
didnt michelle obama already do this? i thought it was all figured out by now.
All she did was get rid of the high sugary stuff mostly.
Lies, she got rid of everything except the high sugary stuff aside from drinks in vending machines.
We lost basically everything with a Scoville unit over 10 in exchange for 35g sugar per serving chocolate milk and aspartame bullcrappary in the vending machines.
Plus the portion sizes dropped anywhere from 10-40% depending on the meal.
I even lost the fresh fruit bar for canned peaches.
It has been almost 2 decades and I still want revenge for my KIA flamin hot funyuns.
At my school, they got rid of any kind of regular soda and regular Gatorade. Diet only and the snacks had to be the healthier kind like Baked Lays. We still had a fruit bar though so you could have something like peaches or a banana but they still had fucking pop tarts in the morning though lol.
Clearly big pop tart got to the food purchaser.
