So back in March, the Trump admin cancelled $1 billion in local food purchases for schools and food banks.
Now, the Trump admin is buying $30 million in produce for food banks, and says that this shows they're supporting farmers?
The math isn’t mathing.

Last week, the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, legislation CSPI has long opposed, passed the Senate.
This is the exact opposite of what is needed to improve child health outcomes, and this bill is a clear handout to the dairy industry at the expense of our children’s health.

The 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans must stay grounded in science, not industry pressure! With more Americans than ever facing obesity and diabetes, we deserve clear, evidence-based nutrition guidance backed by science in our current world of misinformation.

Weakening saturated fat limits in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans would put children’s health at risk—especially in school meals. The DGAs should protect kids, not industry profits #UncompromisedDGA

Who should we trust: decades of scientific studies, or the food industry? Eating an excess of sodium & saturated fat can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke, but industry would like us and the government to think otherwise. The DGAs must be backed by science. We want an #UncompromisedDGA!

Check the ingredients this Halloween! Even though the FDA banned the cancer-causing synthetic dye Red 3 back in January, the classic candy corn made by Brach's still contains Red 3, according to the ingredients list on their website, along with other food dyes of concern (Yellow 5 and Yellow 6).

Students are asking for more plant-based options at school — but school districts face barriers in meeting that demand. Reps. @velazquez.house.gov & @adams.house.gov’s Plant Powered School Meals Pilot Act would change that.
