Texas passes a new law that requires warning labels for 40+ additives and mandates every public high school to offer a nutrition elective The labels will have to say this product “contains ingredients “not recommended for human consumption” in other countries” and applies “to food product labels developed or copyrighted on or after Jan. 1, 2027” https://www.fooddive.com/news/texas-law-food-warning-label-ingredients-additives/751496/ https://legiscan.com/TX/text/SB25/id/3247967

there should be a mandate for nutrition education in every public high school tbh. a lot of these warning labels might mean nothing without the proper knowledge—I think.

Not a lot of agreement in nutrition is the problem. Many dogmas and brutal disputes It is good to have the class undoubtedly—in kind of bratty way I am anticipating drama Similar issues when proposing front of package labels with a nutrition score No one can agree

I totally agree with you, but curriculum isn’t mandated at the federal level (although lately they’ve been trying to overstep that) The majority of states don’t require schools to provide nutrition education. But almost all schools do provide it anyway (I believe its something like 99%) I feel just as strongly that schools should provide recess, even for secondary school. Especially now, with how sedentary and screen-oriented everything is. I imagine if kids replaced a couple hours of class time with unstructured (and screenless) recreation time, they’d learn so much more than they currently do
