The Trump administration is shedding light on the chronic disease epidemic that’s affecting children all across America. Now that they have the data, the next item on the agenda is stopping it.
“Four months ago, I created the presidential commission to Make America Healthy Again, and today the commission officially delivers its first report on childhood health,” President Trump said in a press conference.
“Here are just some of the alarming findings, and they really are alarming,” he continued. “More than 40% of American children now have at least one chronic health condition. Since the 1970s, rates of childhood cancer have soared, in many cases by nearly 50%.”

President Trump went on to explain that in the 1960s, less than 5% of children were obese.
“Now, over 20% are obese,” the president explained. “Just a few decades ago, 1 in 10,000 children had autism. Today, it’s 1 in 31.”
“For the first time ever, this report examines some of the root causes that many believe are making our children sicker and our population sicker,” he continued, “such as the ultra-processed foods, over-medicalization, and over-prescription, and widespread exposure to potentially toxic chemicals.”
“Unlike other administrations, we will not be silenced or intimidated by the corporate lobbyist or special interest,” he added.
According to the report, President Trump’s commission found that nearly 70% of children’s calories come from ultra-processed foods. They also found that there are thousands of environmental chemicals — many of which are linked to cancer, developmental disorders, and endocrine disruption.
Lifestyle also plays a massive role in the disease epidemic, with sedentary behavior, too much screen time, poor sleep, chronic stress, and over-medicalization being major factors.
While everything on that list needs to be remedied, BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales believes one item in particular needs the most attention — and fast.
“I would 100% tackle the food first,” Gonzales comments on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.” “You can choose not to vaccinate your children or yourself. You can choose to be a couch potato or not. You can choose whether or not you take medication.”
“But what you can’t choose is the fact that you need food to live, and if we don’t have any clean sources of food in this country, then it’s not going to matter what you do. You’re still going to be poisoned,” she adds.
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
The following is a summary from one of the most reliable sources working in the food industry, along with the full report from the commission…and some final words from me…
Make Our Children Healthy Again: Assessment examines each of these drivers:
Poor Diet
Aggregation of Environmental Chemicals
Lack of Physical Activity and Chronic Stress
Overmedicalization
A Generation at Risk
Over 40% of the roughly 73 million children (aged 0-17) in the United States have at least one chronic health condition. Today in the U.S., more than 1 in 5 children over 6 years old are obese. This is a more than 270% increase compared to the 1970s, when less than one in twenty children over 6 were obese. Diabetes is increasing among American youth. Autism spectrum disorder impacts 1 in 31 children by age 8. The childhood cancer incidence has risen by over 40% since 1975.
Allergies are widespread, and autoimmune disorders are rising. Today, over 1 in 4 American children suffer from allergies, including seasonal allergies, eczema, and food allergies.
What is Driving the Increase in Childhood Chronic Disease?
Nearly 70% of an American child’s calories today come from ultra-processed foods (increased from zero 100 years ago), many of which are designed to override satiety mechanisms and increase caloric intake.
Over 70% of children and 85% of teens fail to meet the 2024 federal guideline of 60 minutes of daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Children are particularly vulnerable to chemicals during critical stages of development—in utero, infancy, early childhood, and puberty. Today, 90% of medical costs in the United States are tied to chronic conditions, many of which are tied to diet.
Research is beginning to point out three key reasons why UPFs are detrimental to children’s health:
1. Nutrient Depletion
2. Increased Caloric Intake
3. Inclusion of Food Additives
The Driving Forces Behind American Children’s Food Crisis:
Consolidation of the Food System
Distorted Nutrition Research and Marketing
Compromised Dietary Guidelines
The DGA have a history of being unduly influenced by corporate interests.
Government Programs Compounding the Issue
Traditional Field Crops vs. Specialty Crops (Crop Insurance)
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
The School Breakfast Program and National School Lunch Program (NSLP)
Schools that receive federal lunch subsidies are required to follow a meal pattern that limits added sugars, sodium, and carbohydrates, but do not set limits on UPF consumption, leading to excessive intake of sugar, processed carbohydrates, processed fats, and sodium among children.
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). WIC has a proven track record of improving children’s health. The MAHA Commission will immediately begin working on developing the strategy to make our children healthy again—due in August 2025. We invite all of America, especially the private sector and academia, to be part of the solution.

THE FULL MAGA COMMISSION REPORT
Beginning better health through REAL FOOD, whole foods, prepared well with the best ingredients, along with making the spirit, soul, and mind — heart healthy by instilling a foundation of the truth of God’s whole Word is what is required in America to have healthy children, healthy people.
We are a sick and greatly ailing nation. From our children to our old folks. Due to two factors. What passes for food in America, as our food is determined by mega-corporations and lobbyists and folks unconcerned about health and only focused on profits — money — and due to our spiritual malnourishment from a lack of being fed the whole, pure Word of God. Daily. And on Sundays.
Our physical ailments are directly tied to what we put into our mouths and ingest, likewise, our spiritual, eternal health is dependent upon what we feed ourselves, our children with regarding God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the whole inerrant, infallible, unchangeable, eternal living and active Word of God.
Eat better physical food. Take the time to learn. And take the time to speak up when being served, fed, buying stuff that only adds empty calories and leads to illness and poor health.
Eat and drink the whole Word of God for the ultimate health.
Believe & obey, with faith in the LORD Jesus Christ — and just imagine what will be available to eat in heaven! We will eat from the Tree of Life, among everything wonderful and good from God!
