Bill > HR14

This resolution urges the United States Congress to investigate the U.S. food supply due to growing concerns about the potential health impacts of toxins and chemicals in food. The resolution highlights several alarming health statistics, including increasing obesity rates (with over 35% of adults in some states being obese), high cancer rates (1,777,566 new cases in 2021), and declining children's health (with 40% of high school students experiencing persistent sadness and over 40% of children having at least one chronic health condition). The document specifically calls for Congressional oversight of food-regulating agencies like the FDA, USDA, and Department of Health and Human Services, with the goal of removing dangerous toxins and chemicals from the food supply to safeguard the nation's future. Additionally, the resolution directs the House of Representatives' Clerk to send authenticated copies of the resolution to key congressional leaders, the Ohio Congressional delegation, and Ohio news media to ensure widespread communication of this urgent request.
