_WHAT’S HAPPENING_

Last week, the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission, led by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., released its Make Our Children Healthy Again Strategy.

The plan outlines more than 120 initiatives to address America’s childhood chronic disease crisis, which Kennedy says now affects over three-quarters of the population. The strategy identifies poor diet, chemical exposure, over-medication, and chronic stress as key drivers of illness.

Absolutely support it. I am a nurse. We have known for decades what is wrong with our health, but we cannot overcome the money of big pharma and big ag. Finally we have some leadership that is not listening to lobbyists. It gives me hope.

Yes, and Yes again. Look for pictures of past jungle gym exercise / playground equipment. No overweight or despondency around, just fun while keeping fit

WRT "labeling": Sadly, many Americans are too dumb to understand them (if they bother, at all, to read them). And knock-off the "cholesterol and fats" hate -- our bodies, themselves, produce far more cholesterol than is contained in any foods, and fats? teach Americans the difference between "good" and "bad" fats (and stop hating on whole-fat dairy).

Absolutely YES! For far too long has the health of our nation been in decline due to the greed of the food and most specifically the Big Pharma industry. It's time they are made accountable for their "Profits regardless of consequences". mentality.

Absolutely yes! The power for healthy childhood into adulthood needs to be given back to the parents & promoted by the government. This is especially true in "public" schools.

RFK’s approach certainly makes sense. This seems to be a bottom up solution rather than a top down one, which makes sense. Forming groups to resolve the problem obviously didn’t work, but fixing the roof cause, in this case food and activity would certainly seem like the best approach.

I absolutely support it. With regard to childhood obesity, most of us know that video games and online activity contribute to that problem and solutions are fleeting. If the MAHA Commission can find solutions with more involved parenting, etc., perhaps we can return to the playground activities.

100% support a healthier approach to everything. America’s health is broken. I was so excited when I started hearing about the MAHA movement joining MAGA! And I am still excited.
