RESUMEN
Current US diets negatively impact human health and the environment, while shifting toward increased intake of plant-based foods could mitigate these issues. Current food policies exacerbate these problems, necessitating a reevaluation and the implementation of new policies. The Society of Behavioral Medicine urges legislators to support the PLANT Act (H.R.5023), which would enhance production, research, and development of plant-based foods and address both health and environmental concerns.
Introduced to the House by Congressman James McGovern, the PLANT Act would expand opportunity for agricultural producers and would make it easier for consumers to afford and access plant-based foods.
