House Joint Memorial No. 10 expresses the Idaho Legislature's strong concern for the health and well-being of the state's children, particularly regarding the use of artificial sweeteners in school nutrition programs. The memorial highlights the importance of the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program, which serve millions of meals daily, including to Idaho students. It notes that while six artificial sweeteners are approved by the FDA, there is insufficient long-term research on their effects on children's development and health. Consequently, the memorial advocates for a precautionary approach to their use in school meals.

The memorial urges federal authorities, including the President and Congress, to prohibit the inclusion of specific artificial sweeteners—namely aspartame, acesulfame potassium, advantame, neotame, saccharin, and sucralose—in all federally administered school meal programs. Additionally, it supports the use of real sugar, produced locally from Idaho's sugar beets, as a natural alternative to these artificial sweeteners. The resolution emphasizes the alignment of this approach with Idaho's values of agricultural sustainability and economic self-reliance, and it calls for the forwarding of this memorial to relevant federal officials.
