This week’s guide dives into the brand-new Texas food laws and what they mean for us here in Houston. From changes in school meals and SNAP benefits to new “food as medicine” initiatives, plus a roundup of the best spots in Houston to source your food (think local CSAs, organic stores, and farmers markets), this one’s packed with useful info.
Because eating well isn’t just about what’s on the plate—it’s about what’s happening in our community, too. Have a great week!

Putting this together reminded me how many amazing local growers, makers, and shops we have right here in Houston. Our hope is that this guide makes it easier for you to feed yourself and those you love well.
How New Texas Laws Could Change Houston’s Health Future
These new food laws coming out of Texas may feel big and abstract, but they touch real life—what we buy at the store, what our kids eat at school, and how we think about food as medicine. As a member of the greater Houston community, I think it’s important to stay in touch with how food regulation is impacting not just us but impacting other parts of our community. At Woo, we want to see all of Houston thrive and flourish!
