President Donald Trump's Make America Healthy Again Commission issued its highly anticipated report examining the rise in chronic diseases among U.S. children on Thursday, attributing the surge in childhood health problems to various factors, including eating chemically processed foods and the growing use of pharmaceuticals in young kids.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who serves as chair of the commission, has long fought against vaccines and vaccine mandates, pharmaceutical companies, corporate influence on public health policies, the use of pesticides, and harmful food additives — along with environmental pollution. 

The report, reviewed by Fox News Digital, reads in part:

After a century of costly and ineffective approaches, the federal government will lead a coordinated transformation of our food, health, and scientific systems. This strategic realignment will ensure that all Americans — today and in the future —live longer, healthier lives, supported by systems that prioritize prevention, wellbeing, and resilience.

Kennedy explained in a call with the media on Thursday that the report is a "diagnosis" of the state of health in the U.S. and that the "prescription" for ongoing health issues will be released in 100 days, at or near the end of August, in the form of policy recommendations for the federal government.

Here's more, via Fox News Digital:

The report's findings include: teenage depression nearly doubling from 2009 to 2019, more than one-in-five children over the age of six being considered obese, one-in-31 children diagnosed with autism by age 8, and childhood cancer spiking by 40% since 1975.  

Chronic diseases have a chilling effect on national security, commission members said in a Thursday morning phone call with the media. Roughly 75% of America's youth aged 17–24 do not qualify to serve in the military due to obesity, asthma, allergies, autoimmune diseases or behavioral disorders, they said. 

The report pointed to a handful of variables leading to what Kennedy and other Trump administration leaders called a "chronic disease crisis," including a "food system (that) is safe but could be healthier;" exposure to environmental chemicals such as pesticides outside or microplastics in food consumed; as well as a culture shift that moved kids from playing outside to being glued to their phones or tablets.

The report found that prescribing medication to children has skyrocketed in recent history, such as a 250% increase in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder prescriptions between 2006 and 2016 despite scientific evidence that the prescriptions did not "improve outcomes long-term," as well as a 1,400% increase between 1987 and 2014 for antidepressant prescriptions for kids, and 800% increase in antipsychotic medications for children between 1993 and 2009. 

While I'm not a pediatric doctor, pharmaceutical expert, nor an expert on autoimmune diseases or food additives — despite the similar implied claims from untold numbers of social keyboard jockeys — I have observed increases in allergies, behavioral disorders, and a level of obesity that goes far beyond what I saw as a young man. 

So it seems to me that continuing business as usual is clearly not the answer, and while RFK Jr. continues to be attacked not only by Democrats, but also by some on the right, he knows a helluva lot more about the prevailing health issues in this country than members of Congress and the left-wing media who are automatically predisposed to fight him and his proposals every step of the way.

Food and Drug Commissioner Marty Makary said on the same call with the media:

We now have the most obese, depressed, disabled, medicated population in the history of the world, and we cannot keep going down the same road. So this is an amazing day. I hope this marks the grand pivot from a system that is entirely reactionary to a system that will now be proactive.

And Director of the National Institutes of Health Jay Bhattacharya chillingly said on the call: 

What the report says is that the next generation of children will live shorter lives than their parents. For me as a parent, that is absolutely shocking. The implication is that whatever is happening to our kids, the food that they eat, the environmental exposures they face, the medicines that they take to address the fact that they're sick, are not translating making them healthier.

"And in fact," Bhattacharya added, "they are less healthy than their parents were at the same age."

Again, absolutely chilling.

One would think that even the TDS-riddled Democrat Party could come to grips with the facts reported in the MAHA report. Then again, how many facts and realities have we seen the left ignore or dismiss over the last 10 or more years?
