Make healthy food affordable through strategic subsidies.

What’s Broken

Real costs of diet-related disease not reflected in price tags.

The Fix

20-30% tax on junk food funding subsidies for fruits, vegetables, fish, regenerative meat.

How to Take Action

  1. Enact federal excise tax on ultra-processed foods
  2. Create Healthy Food Access and Affordability Trust Fund
  3. Scale GusNIP and Double Up Food Bucks
  4. Redirect Farm Bill subsidies to nutrient-rich crops
