Adopts dietary guidelines promoting nutrient-dense whole foods in Nebraska.

The Real Food Act establishes state-level dietary guidelines emphasizing nutrient-dense whole foods to improve public health. It prioritizes high-quality protein, whole food fats, colorful vegetables and fruits, full-fat dairy, and fiber-rich whole grains. State agencies involved in public nutrition, school lunch programs, and health care services must update educational materials and promote these guidelines. The act encourages partnerships with local governments and community leaders to support adherence to these dietary recommendations. The act becomes operative on January 1, 2027.
