WATCH: Kennedy unveils ‘Make America Healthy Again’ report

The Make America Healthy Again Commission released a new 20-page report Tuesday, outlining Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s big pitch to President Donald Trump on how to address what the administration describes as the underlying causes of an uptick in childhood chronic disease.

In his opening remarks at Tuesday’s event, Kennedy rattled off a list of reforms the administration is pursuing through the end of the year, including defining ultra-processed foods on front of packaging labels, requiring nutrition and metabolic health courses in medical schools, updating national water quality standards and working with states to prevent SNAP benefits from covering items like soda and candy.

These are the kinds of reforms, Kennedy said, that “would be unthinkable two years ago.”

“We are focusing narrowly on nutrition and metabolic health food quality, cumulative exposures at microbiome precision, agriculture and mental health, and we’re doing all these things with each other cooperatively and we’re doing them very, very quickly,” he said.

This second report builds on the commission’s initial assessment in May that targeted poor diet, exposure to synthetic chemicals, a lack of physical activity and “overmedicalization,” including what the former anti-vaccine advocate says is an overuse of vaccines. It is light on details about how these ideas will translate to regulatory actions.

The release of this report comes as Kennedy has faced pointed questions from lawmakers over the personnel turmoil at the nation’s health agencies and his approach to U.S. vaccine policy.
