RFK Jr.’s MAHA report targets food, drug, tech industries: Key takeaways

On May 22, 2025, a 68-page report was published under the leadership of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., highlighting the increasing prevalence of chronic illnesses among American children and proposing various research and policy initiatives to address these health challenges.
The report attributes the health crisis to factors such as ultra-processed foods, environmental toxins, sedentary lifestyles, and overprescription of pharmaceuticals, reflecting Kennedy's controversial views.
It critiques federal nutrition guidelines and food industry consolidation, blaming four companies for 80% of meat sales, while proposing research and policy reforms to improve child health.
The report states, "American children are highly medicated — and it’s not working," noting a 1,400% increase in children's antidepressant prescriptions from 1987 to 2014 and sharply rising depression rates.
The commission aims for a decade-long revolution in living standards, but critics worry it may limit access to antidepressants despite their established clinical use and life-saving role.
