Earth Day is a great opportunity to reflect on the ways we can all give back to our beautiful planet. Each of us can reduce our environmental impact by minimizing food waste or considering sustainable swaps for meals. Here are few ways you can do this at home 👇22 Apr 2026 14:51 +0000at://did:plc:3txzcaqecbyf7igfcxxsc33z/app.bsky.feed.post/3mk3qonbdds2shttps://bsky.app/profile/cspinet.org/post/3mjzz7ooekk2wNew York just made history! 🥳 After years of work by CSPI and our partners, the NY State Assembly passed the Food Safety and Chemical Disclosure Act — a first-in-the-nation reform closing a decades-old loophole that lets food companies sneak unsafe chemicals into our food supply with zero oversight. https://www.cspi.org/statement/new-york-passes-sweeping-food-chemical-reform-law21 Apr 2026 22:18 +0000at://did:plc:3txzcaqecbyf7igfcxxsc33z/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjzz7ooekk2whttps://bsky.app/profile/cspinet.org/post/3mjxcckyy422kWe're asking the FDA to swiftly ban butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) from food.

But all that marketing fluff can make things harder than it should be! For example, “Grams of whole grain” alone doesn’t tell you what percent of the grains are whole. A bread with “8g whole grain” could also have 8 (or more) grams of white flour.20 Apr 2026 19:18 +0000at://did:plc:3txzcaqecbyf7igfcxxsc33z/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjx6pbwqok2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/cspinet.org/post/3mjpcbrl62k2lCSPI is proud to endorse The Senior Hunger Prevention Act!
