The relatively short report includes astonishing data on obesity, heart disease, diabetes, life expectancy, substance abuse, mental illness, and many other terribles. 

The report is a shock, a painful read, a five-alarm fire, and the charts alone are astonishing. It is embedded below for your reading misery. 

"This report—Make Our Children Healthy Again: Assessment—is a call to action. It presents the stark reality of American children's declining health, backed by compelling data and long-term trends. More importantly, it seeks to unpack the potential dietary, behavioral, medical, and environmental drivers behind this crisis. By examining the root causes of deteriorating child health, this assessment establishes a clear, evidence-based foundation for the policy interventions, institutional reforms, and societal shifts needed to reverse course."

Further:

"After a century of costly and ineffective approaches, the federal government will lead a coordinated transformation of our food, health, and scientific systems. This strategic realignment will ensure that all Americans—today and in the future—live longer, healthier lives, supported by systems that prioritize prevention, wellbeing, and resilience. But real transformation requires more than vision—it requires clarity. Before we act, we must fully understand the scope of the crisis, the conditions that created it, and the mechanisms through which it continues to grow. Without this foundation, interventions risk being reactive, fragmented, or ineffective."

Again, the focus is on children, but the data pertain to the entire population. 

Undoubtedly, the report will come as a shock to most Americans, and to American politics generally, even if the rest of the world is well aware. 

Consider the implications of this moment, and the meaning for the epoch of history from which we might be leaving and into which we are moving. 

In the big picture of five years, they locked us down, forced us to cover our faces, shut down all community activity, killed small business, canceled religious holidays, invited us to become addicted to screens and substances, and then forced an experimental and seemingly miraculous shot on the public, then even segregated cities by compliance status. 

They did all of this in the name of health. A tyranny we never imagined possible – one for the ages – came to us with the claim that it was for our own well-being. 

Five years later, we have now a huge government report that details a chronic (not infectious) disease crisis without precedent, traceable to mostly government-backed policies, including deteriorating mental and physical health, which the whole system of food, pharmaceuticals, and environmental exposure more generally is making worse. As documented, the issue long predates the lockdowns and even traces back a century.
