We’ve joined the “Make America Healthy Again” Movement!!
Chronic illness and disease, by and large, is preventable and has been a major concern of mine for many years. My students often hear me say “You have to make your health a priority, because if you are strong and healthy, you can help other people.” We all have family, friends, co-workers and community members that count on us each and every day. We can’t let illness or injury get in the way. I feel the same way about our country!
Our US Secretary of Health & Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is on a mission to “Make America Healthy Again”. I am so excited about this possibility and feel strongly that many of the problems that we face today, can more easily be mitigated by focusing on the health of our Nation’s people! I truly believe that Strong and Healthy Americans will create a Strong & Healthy World!
Below is a statement from Secretary Kennedy:
“An epidemic of chronic disease is engulfing our nation. Obesity, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, autism, cancer, and mental illness are at record levels, especially among young people. These diseases cause untold misery and drain the vitality from our nation’s economy. Chronic disease costs our economy over $4 trillion a year, and dwarfs even defense as the big drain on our federal budget.”
Secretary Kennedy plans to 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 and 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 and 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!
