What do California and West Virginia have in common?
Both states are looking to regulate the use of food additives, dyes and preservatives. In the case of West Virginia, the legislation is an enactment of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda, a movement that is bringing together disparate groups from opposite sides of the political spectrum.
In this week’s Working Lunch, Joe Kefauver and Franklin Coley of Align Public Strategies speak with Maggie Gentile, a nutrition expert and partner with Food Directions LLC. Gentile is also a consultant with the National Restaurant Association, and she shares how the MAHA movement is likely to take shape and how it will impact restaurants.
