Healthy Commissaries, Healthy Families Act

This bill would require the Defense Commissary Agency to run a program to make healthy foods more available, visible, affordable, and promoted at military commissaries in the United States. The agency would appoint a Director of Healthy Foods, and the Defense, Health and Human Services, and Agriculture departments would submit a plan to Congress within 180 days, including ways to use local farmers and farmers markets. The departments would set up joint procedures, conduct outreach to local farmers, post healthy food resources for each commissary online, and report to Congress on progress. The requirements would end on December 31, 2030.
