“We’ve ended up with a food industry that makes people sick and then a sick care industry that takes care of them,” said Nourish Science CEO Jerold Mande.

Thank you GBH Forum Network for the timely UPF coverage. Our kids shouldn't be sick. Secretary Brooke Rollins & Secretary Kennedy should help schools remove UPF from our school lunchrooms.

“I do give RFK Jr. a lot of credit for making chronic disease caused by our food, principally obesity, a political priority,” Mande said. “I give them an incomplete in terms of what they’re going to do about it.” cnn.com/2025/08/04/bus…

Thank you nancyatheart for your leadership & support.

Ginormous nutrition news! 👏👏👏David A. Kessler MD has given a gift and roadmap to Secretary Kennedy to #MAHA. It reduced youth smoking from 30 to 2% and can do the same to food-caused child chronic disease. nytimes.com/2025/08/07/us/…

A copy of the petition can be found here (drive.google.com/file/d/1QgiUFz…). The letter to Secretary Kennedy is here (drive.google.com/file/d/1a-z50_…). nytimes.com/2025/08/07/us/…

Thank you nancyatheart, Christopher Gardner, American Heart News for this important, timely UPF update. It’s time for Secretary Kennedy & Secretary Brooke Rollins to act to reduce the most troubling UPF in school meals to #MAHA newsroom.heart.org/news/excessive…

Will Secretary Kennedy⁩ have the courage to take on the powerful UPF industry? We hope so. But this is a troubling sign. Trying to develop a uniform UPF definition is the industry dream. It will delay action for years. We have a good enough def. Time to act. federalregister.gov/documents/2025…

A gift & a challenge. How will RFK Jr respond? David Kessler hands RFK Jr and MAHA a gift: Define Ultra-Processed Foods as Not GRAS - Food Politics by Marion Nestle foodpolitics.com/2025/08/david-…

UPFs mentioned only once? Hopefully an early draft or a big win for big food lobbyists. nytimes.com/2025/08/14/wel… via @NYTimes
