Closing the GRAS loophole
Phasing out synthetic food dyes
$235 million specifically aimed at improving nutrition, controlling food additives and addressing food safety
$15 million specifically for modernizing infant formula oversight

What they see as necessary to combat childhood chronic disease is not necessarily what most scientists would say is necessary to combat childhood chronic disease, and might even be detrimental. Also if the new dietary recommendations are any clue, what they see as "improving nutrition" might be questionable.
The devil is in the details.
