A typical restaurant meal—with no appetizer, drink, or dessert—can easily hit 1,000 calories. Just what we need! But that’s child’s play compared to our “winners.” Are these eight items the worst in America? Heck no. Are they extreme-worthy? You bet.

advance us toward an improved food system infrastructure that is just, resilient, and sustainable.
The 46 undersigned organizations urge the White House to issue an Executive Order to require implementation of the Food ServiceGuidelines for Federal Facilities (FSG) in all federally owned and operated facilities. Developed by an interagency working group led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the FSG are evidence-based, currently voluntary best practices to align food service in federal facilities with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and advance food safety, facility efficiency, environmental support, and community development.
The undersigned organizations urge the Biden Administration to adopt these policy recommendations to protect Americans from unsafe and inadequately tested food chemicals.
While most federal food service and feeding programs do follow at least some nutrition guidelines and some agencies try to purchase locally produced food, the federal government lacks a robust values-aligned food procurement policy and practices. food procurement can be a driver for the just, healthy, and sustainable food system we desperately need. We urge the administration to bring federal food purchasing practices into alignment with its policy objectives to achieve racial justice, fight climate change, support family farms, strengthen local economies, ensure nutrition security, support food and farmworkers, and protect animal welfare.
