So it doesn't actually do anything? But I bet these state agencies get a nice budget to:
"Provide recommendations to the Governor’s Office regarding potential action to limit the harms associated with “ultra-processed foods” and food ingredients that pose a health risk to individuals.
Continue investigating the adverse health impacts of synthetic food dyes.
Recommend actions to reduce the purchase of soda, candy, other ultra-processed foods and/or foods with synthetic food dye or other additives.
Investigate the feasibility of requiring Medi-Cal Managed Care plans and California hospitals to use their Community Investment dollars and Community Benefit funds to enhance access to fresh, healthy foods, mitigate the impacts of “food deserts,” and otherwise promote public health at the local level.
Identify areas where California may adopt higher standards for healthy school meals than national standards.
Explore developing new standards and partnerships to further protect and expand universal school food programs."
Just another make work program for campaign donors and a backdoor way to control what is bought and sold in Calif.
