Re: “Bad diets, too many meds, no exercise: A look inside the latest ‘Make America Healthy Again’ report” (Aug. 15, Health):
The irony of the concept of “Make America Healthy Again” is that this is the administration that has reduced funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program for families in need; has slashed $1 billion for school lunch programs; is taking away Environmental Protection Agency standards for clean air; does not support protecting our national parks and has drastically cut the jobs of those who are preserving the health of our public lands; has taken steps to cut scientific research at universities and from scientists; does not believe in global warming; is making it harder for those on Medicaid to get care; is taking away Head Start programs for children; is not protecting our oceans and waters; and the list continues.
How can anyone sitting in this administration envision making America healthy again with all of that is healthful taken out of the America we live in?
