Utah Congressman Mike Kennedy discussed his Healthy Lunch for Healthy Kids Act with John Solomon, which aims to improve school lunches by banning ultra-processed foods and certain chemicals like titanium dioxide. He emphasized the importance of setting a healthy example for children and suggested extending these standards to food stamp programs. Kennedy also highlighted the need for common-sense policies, such as requiring able-bodied SNAP recipients to work and avoiding soda and candy purchases and the recent decision in Utah to eliminate fluoride from the water supply.
