U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. presented a strategy report of the Make America Healthy Again Commission intended to tackle childhood chronic disease. Those include funding cuts to food assistance, Medicaid programs, and scientific research, as well as Secretary Kennedy’s push for changes in vaccine policy, all of which could undermine public health. The MAHA report includes “a lot of good talk about things they want to do,” Mayne says. The strategy calls for new research into nutrition and chronic disease prevention and the development of a standard definition of ultra-processed foods. But the report calls for few changes on regulation of pesticides.
