Will the MAHA report set up an attack on fast food?

Working Lunch: In this week's political podcast, nutrition expert Maggie Gentile of Food Directions takes a closer look at the Make America Healthy Again report and how it could set the stage for public policy likely to impact restaurants.

In this week’s Working Lunch, Joe Kefauver and Franklin Coley of Align Public Strategies hear from Maggie Gentile, a partner and vice president of food and nutrition policy at Food Directions LLC, who takes a deep dive into the recently released Make America Healthy Again, or MAHA, report. 

The report sets the stage for a policy movement away from ultra-processed foods, and it is expected to serve as a roadmap for policies to come later this summer. At the very least, restaurants should expect to a focus on ingredient transparency.

Also, Kefauver and Coley look at minimum wage battles on opposite coasts: in the District of Columbia and in Los Angeles.
