Cut junk food, fix school meals, restore sleep and movement, and protect kids’ mental health.
A Nation Failing Its Children
Children’s health is declining, and fast.
You can see it in classrooms, cafeterias, and clinics: restless kids, rising obesity, sleepless nights, and illnesses once reserved for adults.
This is not politics. It is survival. And there is a plan that works.
A draft plan called Make America Healthy Again was recently leaked. It sketches a vision for improving children’s health. MAHA takes aim at ultra-processed foods, chemical exposures, and even the way schools structure meals and movement.
Some proposals are supported by research. Others are more speculative.
But here is where I stand. I have no desire to step into politics. My focus is more urgent. I want to ask how we, as parents, teachers, doctors, and neighbors, can help children thrive.
Because children cannot wait for Washington to sort out its arguments.
