Trump administration’s ‘Maha’ report implicates companies in worsening children’s health

The Trump administration’s inaugural report on children’s health, issued by the “Make America Healthy Again” commission, highlights the detrimental effects of poor diet, chemicals, and social media on child health in the US. This 68-page report, stemming from a February executive order, critiques companies like Bayer and Facebook for their roles in health issues, emphasizing biases in industry-funded research and the monopolization of food production by a few corporations. It calls for evidence-based policy interventions to address the root causes of declining child health and stresses the need for better corporate practices aligned with child protection.
