Colorado’s governor wants to encourage access to healthy foods across the state.

An executive order signed by Gov. Jared Polis on Thursday adds requirements for most state agencies to promote educational information on healthy foods, increase access to government aid programs or encourage Coloradans to exercise outdoors.

The state will no longer use tax dollars to purchase alcoholic beverages or soft drinks for official state events under the order.
