The report on childhood chronic disease in the U.S. has been released by the White House .
The report was written by the MAHA Commission , which focuses on the health of children.
Dr. Andrew Hammond : The food we eat and the environment we live in are the primary drivers of chronic disease.
Hammond: Government regulation is possible and desirable. It’s a lever that government could pull.
Sally Kohn : MAHA report shows how corporate greed harms children, creating environment that leads to obesity, asthma, asthma.
She says the report’s critique of doctors reveals how little the commission, which includes not one pediatrician, understands about practicing medicine.
Kohn says doctors are left treating symptoms, with the actual disease being the upstream social and economic factors.
The real answer is pragmatic progressivism, not defending captured institutions but reimagining government.
Without these changes, in another decade a different administration will release the next report documenting the same crisis, but with worse statistics.
If that happens, the MAHA report will be remembered as the moment we chose ideological paralysis over taking back our democracy.
