The White House's Make America Healthy Again Commission offered a range of critiques about chronic disease in America in a report released Thursday, the first major byproduct of the cross-government commission headed by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Chiefly, the report blames many chronic illnesses on ultra-processed foods, chemicals in the environment, sedentary behavior and over-reliance on digital devices among children. It also suggests childhood vaccines need to be studied further.
“We will not stop until we defeat the chronic disease epidemic in America, we're going to get it done for the first time ever,” President Donald Trump said during a MAHA event at the White House on Thursday afternoon.
“Unlike other administrations, we will not be silenced or intimidated by the corporate lobbyist or special interest. And I want this group to do what they have to do,” Trump said, mentioning issues like toxic chemicals in the environment, overprescription of children and ultra processed foods.
