We envision a U.S. food system built for people, not profit.

A food system that:

  • Promotes health, not diet-related diseases
  • Expands access to healthy, nourishing food regardless of income
  • Protects children from predatory marketing
  • Provides schools the resources to serve wholesome, UPF-free meals
  • Empowers consumers through better labeling and increased ingredient transparency
