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.

Dual enrollment participation in the United States reached a record 3m students during the 2024–25 academic year, increasing 24% over two years, with community colleges serving approximately 70% of participants. Research suggests that students who earn college credits while in high school are more likely to pursue and complete higher education, potentially reducing tuition costs. However, participation remains uneven, particularly among Black and Hispanic students, boys, English learners, and students with disabilities. Education experts recommend stronger partnerships between high schools and colleges, improved academic advising, flexible eligibility requirements, and courses aligned with transferable college credits and career pathways. With high school students now accounting for nearly a quarter of community college enrollment nationwide, school leaders are encouraged to use their growing influence to secure better support and expand access to these opportunities.
