The USDA’s approval of these state plans was deemed overreach, with the judge citing improper procedures and lack of public notice. While the goal was to promote healthier eating, the ruling clarifies that states can’t redefine eligible foods without proper authority or public comment periods. The USDA may appeal, leaving the future of these restrictions uncertain. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
