The Task Force on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health — formed by an independent group of professors, advocates and food industry executives — recently advised the White House to bring back universal school meals.
The task force released this guidance in a report ahead of the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health set for Sept. 28. The Biden White House has set an ambitious goal to end hunger and increase healthy eating and physical activity by 2030 to reduce the number of Americans with diet-related diseases like diabetes, obesity and hypertension.
