Advancing Health Equity Through Food System Change

We are a nonprofit advancing food equity and nutrition security by working at the intersection of public health, education and policy. We start with dairy because of its outsized impact on health and access, and we equip individuals, universities, and governments with the tools to make evidence-based, systemic change for good.

Science-based. Equity-driven. Built for global impact.

  • BUTTER FROM AIR?! Butter ranks third on the National Resource Defense Council’s chart of 10 common climate-damaging foods. It requires 21 gallons of cow’s milk to make 1 pound of butter, using 21,000 gallons of water in the process. So, what do you think about this video by kalpanapot on @savor.foods making butter from air⁉️ To learn more about the environmental impact of dairy, visit switch4good.org 🔗 🌎

  • Today, @realdonaldtrump signed a historic piece of legislation championed by @Switch4Good founder and vegan Olympic medalist Dotsie Bausch @veganolympian , as well as @animalwellnessaction and @centerforahumaneeconomy President Wayne Pacelle, into law. The legislation, which passed unanimously in both the Senate and the House at the end of 2025, requires public schools to offer a variety of plant-based milk options to students in the lunch line for the first time in the nearly 80-year history of the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), effectively ending the “cow’s milk mandate.” The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, which includes provisions from the FISCAL Act, championed by Bausch and Pacelle, is a groundbreaking law that will begin to chip away at the $400 million in taxpayer money wasted each year on unopened and discarded dairy milk cartons given to public school students at lunchtime as part of the NSLP. We are so proud of this groundbreaking legislation and grateful to everyone who made this possible with the tens of thousands of emails you sent to your Senators and Congresspeople over the past four years. We appreciate your support and celebrate our collective victory for the kids and cows with you today!
  • Another reminder that animal-based foods carry higher contamination risks — from bacteria that can thrive even in refrigerated environments! Plant-based products are safer and healthier and do not carry the same risks that are tightly linked to animal agriculture and production. Additionally, plant-based dairy alternatives tend to be lower in saturated fat and cholesterol, and higher in fiber, antioxidants, and beneficial plant compounds. While no food system is risk-free, removing animals from the equation significantly reduces the likelihood of contamination, making plant-based options a safer, cleaner, and more health-protective choice for everyday eating.

  • The 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans are officially here 🥗 While there are some encouraging shifts—like a stronger focus on whole foods and plant-based options—the new guidelines also raise important questions about dairy, red meat, and long-term health. 👉 This carousel breaks down: • What changed • What’s worth celebrating • Where experts are concerned • What it actually means for your plate Bottom line: national guidelines can be helpful—but they’re not the full story. Prioritizing fiber-rich plants, minimizing ultra-processed foods, and choosing evidence-based nutrition still matter more than ever.
