S8, Ep 28- Leaked MAHA Proposal Aims to Protect Kids' Health – What’s in the Plan?
Description
A leaked draft of the Trump administration’s Make Our Children Healthy Again plan reveals a strategy to improve kids’ health that’s far less sweeping than many expected. Instead of bold action on processed foods and pesticides, the draft emphasizes “awareness” campaigns and industry-friendly guidelines, while reopening old battles over vaccines, fluoride, and even WiFi.
In this episode of The Health Advocates, Steven unpacks what’s actually in the leaked report, what’s missing, and why these proposals could reshape public health for children across the country. From school nutrition to pesticide regulation to vaccine safety, we break down what the draft means for families, industry, and the future of U.S. health policy.
