\n

As we prepare to celebrate 250 years of freedom this summer, America should resolve to once again be a healthy nation. Chronic disease has been rapidly increasing for decades, and for far too long, the federal government\u2019s approach to nutrition has been part of the problem. Empowered by President Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s leadership, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will soon publish a final rule that will more than double the amount of healthy food that many retailers in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are required to stock.<\/p>\n

Since its inception, SNAP has helped our most vulnerable citizens afford the essential and nutritious food they need. At least, that is what the program is supposed to do. Over time, however, SNAP has been taken advantage of, allowing many to game the system and leaving millions of vulnerable Americans without healthy, nutrient-dense food options.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This has accelerated the health crisis that our nation is up against. Every year, 90% of the nearly $5 trillion the United States spends on healthcare goes toward treating people with chronic conditions. And of the roughly 73 million children under age 18<\/a> in the United States, the CDC reports that over 40% have at least one chronic health condition, while more than 350,000 American children have been diagnosed with diabetes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The consequences are far-reaching and have even put our national security at risk. Due primarily to obesity, poor physical fitness, and\/or mental health challenges, more than 75% of Americans aged 17 to 24 are ineligible for military service \u2014 a staggering and dangerous reality.<\/p>\n

Rising rates of childhood chronic disease are driven by a combination of factors. Improving SNAP \u2014 which covers 15.6 million children, or about 39% of all SNAP participants \u2014 is a terrific place to start. When it comes to a lack of healthy options for both America\u2019s children and adults, the stocking standards that classify the foods retailers are required to stock to redeem SNAP benefits are a key culprit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The current stocking standards<\/a> were established when SNAP was used quite differently. Today, too many taxpayer dollars are spent on highly processed products loaded with empty calories. With nearly 266,000 retailers nationwide redeeming nearly $96 billion in SNAP benefits in fiscal year 2025, we can\u2019t afford not to act.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To take just one example of SNAP misuse, retailers<\/a> have been able to qualify for SNAP by selling jelly, passing it off as a “fruit,” and making a quick buck off it. This was never the intent of SNAP, and the Trump administration is laser-focused on restoring the program to its original mission.<\/p>\n

Our pending final rule raises<\/a> the bar for stocking by strengthening requirements for retailers and closing loopholes that have allowed certain snack foods to count as staple foods. This rule requires all retailers to carry a minimum of 28 varieties across the four staple food groups \u2014 more than double the 12 they are currently required to carry. This will mean more real food like eggs, chicken, whole grain breads, fruit and yogurt on store shelves and on Americans\u2019 plates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Americans on SNAP deserve even more than 28 varieties, but this is a long overdue step in the right direction. It is also the very least retailers can do in exchange for receiving federal taxpayer dollars, since public money should go toward supporting the national interest. And retailers participating in SNAP should feel obligated to offer a variety of healthy foods<\/a>, period.<\/p>\n

At long last, we are modernizing SNAP to responsibly steward taxpayer dollars, promote healthy eating and empower Americans to lead better lives. This pending final rule squares with the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans\u2019 call to eat real food by ensuring low-income Americans have healthy options available wherever they shop.<\/p>\n

There is no better 250th birthday<\/a> present we can give America than making our nation healthier through real food grown by our incredible farmers, ranchers and producers. Stay tuned \u2014 there is much more to come before July 4th.\u00a0<\/p>\n
