MAHA report exposes national security crisis: 75% of young Americans too unhealthy to serve in military

A shocking MAHA report reveals 75% of young Americans aged 17 to 24 are too unhealthy for military service due to obesity, diabetes, and neurological disorders.

Chronic diseases like autism, ADHD, and childhood cancer have surged, with obesity up 270% since the 1970s and type 2 diabetes rising 600% since the 1980s.

Ultraprocessed foods, loaded with harmful additives, make up 70% of the U.S. diet, far exceeding European levels, while toxins like pesticides and fluoride worsen health risks.

Overmedication is rampant as 1 in 5 U.S. kids take prescription drugs, with ADHD meds doubling and antidepressants up 1,400% since the 1980s.

The report demands urgent policy reforms targeting food systems, toxins, and medical practices, warning that America’s health crisis threatens national security.



America’s next generation is facing a health crisis so severe that it poses a threat to national security. A bombshell report from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) commission reveals that 75% of young Americans (ages 17 to 24) are too sick or unfit to serve in the military due to chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, and neurological disorders.

Before so much emphasis and energy is put into the health of illegal aliens, the government needs to worry about the health of Americans.

How about letting little boys be little boys and not medicating them into some sort of zombie state so they sit quiet in the classroom?

40 minutes of class, 20 minutes of physical activity burning off the extra energy stored up sitting still would yield more relaxed kids in class, and help reduce obesity too.

You just nailed one of the big problems.  Since the 1990s, kids in public schools have been chained to their desks for most of their days, and have little opportunity for recess and physical activity.  It got worse after "No Child Left Behind" shifted focus from actual learning to simply passing (worthless) standardized tests, in which "instructional hours" are valued more than letting kids be kids.  I got two teenagers and it has driven me crazy, especially my active daughter, who gets so bored and frustrated with school, that she's come to hate it. 

The other thing is that everyone is so risk adverse that kids are not allowed to play or adventure outside their homes anymore...they get home from their daily school slavery and jump on to their computers instead for hours of video gaming.  Hence, lots and lots of fat and unhealthy and even mentally ill kids.
