About the Event
Session 1: Intro — DGAs, MAHA, and the Path to the Anticipated Proposed Meal Pattern Rule
This kickoff session lays the foundation for understanding how we arrived at USDA’s anticipated proposed changes to the CACFP meal pattern. We’ll briefly walk through the newly published Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs) that we think will impact CACFP meal patterns, explore the role of MAHA in shaping nutrition policy, and connect these pieces to the anticipated meal pattern updates, which will be open for public comment. By the end of this session, participants will have a clear picture of the policy landscape, why these changes are being proposed, and how our community’s voices can influence the final rule.
