An epidemic of chronic disease is engulfing our nation. Obesity, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, autism, cancer, and mental illness is at record levels, especially among young people. These diseases cause untold misery and drain the vitality from our nation’s economy. Chronic disease costs the economy over $4 trillion a year, and dwarfs even defense as the big drain on the federal budget.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. knows how to turn it around, and he will bring that knowledge into the Trump administration. With President Trump’s backing, he will reorient federal health agencies toward chronic disease and rid them of Big Pharma’s influence. He will ban the hundreds of food additives and chemicals that other countries have already prohibited. He will change regulations, research topics, and subsidies to reduce the dominance of ultra-processed food. He will clean up toxic chemicals from our air, water, and soil. He will ensure that research into pharmaceutical drugs, pesticides, additives, and environmental chemicals is scientifically unbiased.
Just two generations ago, America was the healthiest country in the world. It can be that way again. We can Make America Healthy Again.
