Poor diet, environmental toxins, unhealthy habits and pharmaceuticals are contributing to a national rise in chronic illnesses, particularly among children, top Trump officials said in a Thursday report that lays the groundwork for a ‘Make America Healthy Again’ overhaul of government policy.

The widely anticipated report, expected as soon as Thursday, takes on ultra-processed foods, lobbyists and childhood vaccines. But it goes relatively easy on pesticides in farming.

The “Make America Healthy Again” report calls for increased scrutiny of the childhood vaccine schedule, a review of the pesticides sprayed on American crops and a description of the nation’s children as overmedicated and undernourished.

The G.O.P. chairmen of the House and Senate agriculture committees said they were “troubled” by the Make America Healthy Again Commission’s findings and urged it to use sounder science.

In between Trump administrations, multiple EPA officials represented the chemical industry, often as lobbyists, opposing EPA regulations.

While it does not have the force of a law or official policy, the report will be used by the MAHA commission to fashion a plan that can be implemented during the remainder of Trump’s term.

The White House blamed exposure to environmental toxins, poor nutrition and increased screen time for a decline in Americans’ life expectancy Thursday, in a major administration report that also casts doubt on the current vaccine schedule and medications deemed safe by most in mainstream medicine.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. raised his concerns about widely used herbicides containing glyphosate and atrazine, linking them to chronic disease, in a Thursday report by the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission.

The official Make American Healthy Again report detailing the rise in childhood disease has been published and the agriculture industry is not pleased.
