URGING THE DIRECTOR OF HEALTH AND THE DIRECTOR OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION TO ENCOURAGE HOSPITALS AND PRISONS TO OFFER MORE HEALTHY FOOD OPTIONS THAT CONSIST OF MINIMALLY‑PROCESSED FRUITS, VEGETABLES, WHOLE GRAINS, LEGUMES, NUTS AND SEEDS, HERBS AND SPICES, AND NON-DAIRY BEVERAGES, RATHER THAN ULTRA-PROCESSED FOODS.

SCR 101 is a non-binding resolution urging Hawaii's Director of Health and Director of Corrections to encourage state hospitals and prisons to replace ultra-processed foods (like those with artificial additives) with healthier options. It specifically recommends offering minimally-processed foods such as fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, herbs, spices, and non-dairy beverages. The resolution cites benefits including reduced risk of chronic diseases (diabetes, heart conditions), cost savings for taxpayers, support for local farmers, and alignment with Native Hawaiian dietary practices. It does not mandate changes but formally requests these agencies promote healthier food choices in state facilities.
