We can’t “make American children healthy again” without tackling the gun crisis
The article discusses the Trump administration's Make America Healthy Again movement's focus on child health, emphasizing diet, exercise, chemical exposure, and overmedicalization. However, it points out the omission of addressing gun violence, the leading cause of death for American children and teenagers. The piece highlights the alarming statistics of gun violence-related deaths among children and the psychological impact on survivors. Experts advocate for treating gun violence as a public health crisis and implementing strategies to reduce its incidence, especially among high-risk groups. The article also mentions the reduction in funding for organizations working to combat gun violence under the Trump administration.
