I can't believe some people are still against this bill! It's about time we update the definition of food to include items like baby formula and nutritional supplements. This bill will help so many families who rely on these products to feed their loved ones. I don't understand why anyone would be against making sure everyone has access to the food they need to thrive. How do you think this bill will impact families in the long run?
