The Trump administration released a comprehensive report, "The MAHA Report: Make Our Children Healthy Again," detailing the chronic disease crisis among children due to obesity, asthma, and other health issues. Chaired by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the report identifies four main contributors to childhood illness: poor diet, environmental toxins, chronic stress, and overmedicalization. The findings emphasize corporate influence in food and pharmaceutical sectors as a critical factor. This report is expected to guide the administration's health strategy in the coming months, reflecting longstanding concerns in public health about nutrition and environmental safety.
