California Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel is pioneering legislation to eliminate ultra-processed foods from school lunches by 2032, a move that sets a global precedent with the first written legal definition of such foods. Gabriel claims California initiated this health movement well before any national campaign. His previous bills already banned harmful chemicals from food sold in California. The new proposal will task state scientists with legally defining ultra-processed foods and will phase them out of schools, focusing on ingredients associated with health risks and food addiction.
Gabriel's bill will be the first worldwide to define ultra-processed foods and phase them out of California school lunches by 2032.
California has been at the forefront of efforts to promote healthier food before the national 'Make America Healthy Again' movement came to light.
The proposal requires state scientists to legally define ultra-processed foods, considering ingredients banned elsewhere and those linked to health risks.
What we feed our kids and whether or not there are chemicals in those foods can make a big difference on their health and wellness.
