The Trump Administration is committed to serving America's schoolchildren real, healthy food and is calling on Governors to lead the way. The USDA is urging governors to strengthen school meal programs so every child learns healthy eating habits.
The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans prioritize Real Food—whole foods, quality protein, healthy fats, and less added sugar. The USDA is updating federal school meal standards to match, but those changes will roll out over several years. But states don’t have to wait for USDA. By acting now, Governors can advance MAHA goals, bring healthier meals to students sooner, and improve children's health today.
USDA is asking Governors to sign the Pledge for Healthier School Meals and make their states leaders in bringing real food back to school cafeterias. Call your Governor today and urge them to sign the pledge and make your state a national leader in healthier school meals!
