Top EPA officials for the first time publicly laid out the agency’s role and what to expect from the highly anticipated “Make America Healthy Again” strategy, confirming some of the same industry-friendly principles included in a draft leaked earlier this month.
EPA Associate Deputy Administrator Travis Voyles teased the release of the Trump administration’s plan for ending childhood chronic disease nationwide during a Children’s Health Protection Advisory Committee meeting Wednesday.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s MAHA movement “has created a wave change within the agency and within the federal government, of rethinking and refocusing on some of these issues from a bipartisan manner, from a nontraditional manner,” Voyles said.
That strategy, which has been delayed from its original mid-August due date, is expected “any day now,” Voyles said. EPA Deputy Administrator David Fotouhi said the report is expected in early September.
