The MAHA (Movement for Access to Healthy Alternatives) initiative is witnessing significant support at the state level, particularly in Louisiana, despite lukewarm responses from Congress. Schools across various states are preparing for upcoming changes to lunch programs, adapting to new guidelines that aim to provide healthier meals. Massachusetts schools are also making adjustments in response to these changes, which have been influenced by recent policies from both the Obama administration and challenges posed by current budget proposals. While Congress remains hesitant about the MAHA plans proposed by RFK Jr., the movement is catching fire locally, with states reporting a series of victories as they embrace the MAHA principles across schools, SNAP programs, restaurants, and stores.
