A three-paper series in The Lancet by 43 international experts warns that ultra-processed foods are rapidly transforming diets around the world and are consistently linked to poorer health outcomes. The authors call for urgent, coordinated policy measures to curb corporate influence, reduce production and marketing of these products, and make healthier foods more accessible, arguing that waiting for more trials risks further entrenching ultra-processed foods in global food systems.
President Donald Trump has signed legislation allowing schools in federal lunch programs to serve whole and 2% milk, overturning restrictions from the Obama era aimed at curbing childhood obesity. The move has sparked a public relations campaign promoting full-fat dairy, aligning with the administration's broader push against perceived 'woke' policies. Critics view it as a symbolic gesture to appeal to specific voter groups rather than a health initiative.
