(NewsNation)—The “Make America Healthy Again” report was released yesterday. It covered a wide range of American health issues. Some advocates, like FoodBabe.com’s Vani Hari, saw it as a breakthrough for the country on several levels.
“We have never before had this kind of leadership on our food system, what’s happened to it and the mass poisoning of it,” said Hari.
The MAHA report acknowledged that chronic disease in U.S. children has been driven by four major factors: Poor diet, chemical exposure to foods, lack of physical activity, and pharmaceuticals. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the government will be looking over the next 100 days to treat what he called a “younger, sick generation.”
“This is something that we have to take in,” Hari acknowledged. “This is a beginning step on getting the information out to the American public in a way they could easily digest it.”
Hari says that seeing how this report got made was “extraordinary” in terms of making sure every single faction of government had a say in what was presented to the American people, including the chemicals she’s been sounding the alarm on for over a decade.
“The artificial dyes, titanium dioxide, BHT, artificial sweeteners, aspartame, sucralose and safron, that still increase insulin in your body when you’re trying to consume them to avoid sugar,” she added.
Pesticides were a major part of the report, which Hari hammered home as a win for Americans. She says for too long, the chemical lobby has been so sophisticated at preventing the risks of their health products from getting out to the public.
The MAHA report also called 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.
