Delays in federal food standards raise concerns over children’s health and nutrition

More than 100 health, nutrition, and medical experts are urging the Trump administration to release a federal definition of ultraprocessed foods amid delays reportedly linked to food industry pressure. The initiative, a key part of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again agenda, aims to address growing concerns about obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases associated with ultraprocessed food consumption. Research indicates that these products account for more than 70% of the U.S. packaged food supply, while children and toddlers obtain approximately 47% to 59% of their calories from them. Experts argue that a standardized definition could support clearer food labeling, healthier school meals, and stronger nutrition policies while encouraging manufacturers to improve their products. Although federal agencies submitted a proposed definition for review in August, its release remains delayed, prompting calls for greater transparency and faster regulatory action.

Federal school choice divides Democratic governors

Democratic governors face an end-of-year decision on joining the federal Education Freedom Tax Credit, which offers dollar-for-dollar tax credits on donations of up to $1,700 to fund student scholarships. With 31 states participating, including just two Democratic-led states, the program could reach $26bn by 2030. Supporters highlight funding opportunities for public and private school students, while opponents warn of inequitable distribution, limited accountability and potential damage to public education. New York Governor Kathy Hochul defended participation, stating: "I'm not going to leave money on the table when it could help our kids." Meanwhile, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek has rejected the initiative, citing concerns about federal education policy. Teachers' unions remain strongly opposed, while school choice advocates anticipate more Democratic governors joining after the November elections.
