Nov 20, 2024
Reps. Scott Peters (CA-50) and Don Beyer (VA-8) introduced the Childhood Diabetes Reduction Act to address growing public health concerns about rising childhood obesity rates and diet-related chronic diseases such as diabetes. The legislation would require that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) implement clear nutrient and health warning labels for junk foods, ban junk food advertisements targeting children, direct the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to expand research programs on the health effects of ultra-processed foods, and requires the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to lead a national initiative to educate children and families on nutrient warning labels and how to incorporate physical activity and good eating habits into their lifestyles.
