Washington (AP) – A report that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary for Health and Human Services, promised to improve the health of children in America, does not ask the government to make significant changes to its food or agricultural policy.
The strategy report “Make America Health) is said to be one of Kennedy’s characteristic achievements as the health secretary of the nation, which gives the government a roadmap to assist its citizens lose weight, reduce chronic diseases and to exercise more. to decipher ultra -proof foods and vaccines.
So his coalition expected that he took brave measures as the leading healthwoman of the nation. A draft of the so -called report “Maha”, which was first reported by the New York Times on Thursday evening, the government mainly demands that chronic diseases, indigent air quality, the diet of Americans and the prescription drug apply.
The report contains four problem areas – indigent nutrition, chemical exposure, lack of physical activity and overuse of medication – that are responsible for chronic diseases in the USA
The White House published the public publication of the report, which was presented to President Donald Trump on Tuesday. The latest report is the guideline companion of a “Maha” report report published in May, in which there were several mistakes.
The spokesman for the White House, Kush Desai, refused to confirm whether the copy received by The Associated Press was a final version, although HHS officials insisted that the report has been completed since Tuesday.
“President Trump has undertaken to make America well again, and the government is committed to conveying this promise with gold standards,” said Desai. “Until officially published by the White House and the Maha Commission, all documents that are said to be the second Maha report should be regarded as nothing other than speculative literature.”
Some in the agricultural industry carefully anticipated the report and feared that it would require bans or studies on the apply of pesticides and herbicides that the farmers in the United States regularly spray on plants in order to control weeds and improve earnings. Other farmers were concerned about how the report on the apply of maize syrup, a common sweetener, can target in American food. Both products were a central topic of conversation in Kennedy’s “Maha” movement, which attracted a diverse coalition of suburb and rural mothers, Trump supporters and liberals who have taken care of the nation’s food supply.
Instead, the report calls for a “consciousness” campaign to strengthen trust in pesticides.
Calley means that the concerns of agricultural industry as the president’s report on the president’s desk met.
Also means recognized that the “pace of political change” can be frustrating.
“We have to build bridges,” it says, adding: “We will not win if the soybean farmers and the corn breeders are our enemy.”
The funds did not respond to a request for comments on Friday. A spokesman for Kennedy also rejected a comment.
The report calls on the National Institutes of Health, which is exposed to a reduction in the budget of 40% as part of the Trump administration, to carry out several studies on the health of Americans, including researching vaccine violations, autism, air quality, water quality, prescription medication and nutrition.
The report also requires changes to the food that is served in schools and hospitals, which is challenging to deliver with the financing cuts of the Trump administration, said Kari Hamerschlag, deputy director of food and agriculture with the non -profit friends of the world. At the beginning of this year, the administration conducted by the Republican deleted $ 1 billion in order to obtain food banks and schools directly from local farmers in the procurement of food.
“Our food and agricultural system will not change this,” said Hamerschlag. “This will not make people healthier. They have to place resources behind their recommendations.”
