The Rev Dr. @liztheo calls out the cruel irony of tens of millions of Americans being thrust out of the national healthcare system “at a moment when healthcare outfits, pharmaceutical companies, and health insurance corporations are making record profits” https://t.co/UWV8xm2vNh

Medicaid cuts and hospital closures are but two manifestations of a far larger attack on American health and healthcare.

Added sugars in NYers’ diets are a major contributor to diet-related diseases - like type 2 diabetes & heart disease. Thank you @KeithPowersNYC, @Lynn4NYC & the 36 (!) other Council co-sponsors for requiring chain restaurants to post added sugar warning labels.

“ … if we suddenly kicked out all of the people here, the undocumented, our dairy farms would collapse. We have to come up with a solution.” Suspect this would apply to many NYS farms, as well.

One week from today "POISONED: The Dirty Truth About Your Food" will premiere on Netflix and features @SarahSorscherDC, Director of Regulatory Affairs at CSPI. Foodborne illness is a serious problem (as you can see from our post on salmonella earlier) so we're excited to see it.

Started as a carrot, now we're here... I'm so proud that tonight the Senate passed the Predatory Marketing Prevention Act (PMPA)! This bill bans deceptive food product marketing aimed at kids, who are especially vulnerable to ads for unhealthy food. 1/3

Let's be clear, LGBTQ+ friends & allies: When health-harming multi-national corporations say they "support" you, it means they will gladly target-market you & take your money. As soon as the going gets rough, they will leave you in the lurch. @Movendi_Int

At today's rally against predatory junk food marketing, I made a solemn, unshakeable, public commitment: When we pass PMPA, I will wear my carrot costume here in the Senate. 🥕🥕🥕 It's the least I can do to help protect us from an industry that's #AllTrickNoTreat.
