1. A vague bill that gives power to Secretary of HHS

Thus far the only thing I agree with is getting artificial dyes out of the food chain. From the article it might "include medically tailored meals or nutrition counseling".

Any change will cost more and be medically meaningless. Not addressing starch, sugar, flour, seed grain oils means they won't help at all. Imagine a supermarket with no chips, donuts, cakes and cookies, to say nothing of pizza and white pasta. Nothing changes unless someone is making money from it.

If they do convince elders to eat a perfect diet, where will they dump the garbage food, on Gen Z, or other groups or countries they don't like?
