Will this make Democrats pro-screen addiction now, since they basically take the opposite position of everyone in the Trump admin
Here’s a question, though: is it Government’s job to do this, to deal with screen addiction?
(NY Post) A new report spearheaded by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and sent to President Trump on Tuesday suggested dozens of federal actions meant to improve kids’ health, including tackling “illegal vapes,” researching screen time “addiction” and overhauling baby formulas.
The laundry list of ideas are set to be presented to the president to inform future executive orders that will alter how the federal government researches “childhood chronic disease.”
The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission was established in February after an executive order from Trump, who gave the 71-year-old Kennedy carte blanche to remake public health in America.
Tuesday’s report identifies four main possible factors behind childhood chronic disease, including poor diet, chemical exposure, lack of physical activity and chronic stress, and over-medicalization.
Excessive use of screens is named as a contributor to lack of physical activity and chronic stress.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and HHHS will lead the charge on researching screen time as an “addiction” similar to drug and alcohol abuse — while the Surgeon General will launch a education and awareness program on the effects of children using screens.
It’s not just kids, but, adults. And not just young adults. Because I pay attention heavily to what’s going on around me I see the number of people who just can’t put the phone down. They come to a stop light and start staring. I saw one yesterday right behind me, the passenger had the phone in her face. The driver immediately started scrolling the minute they came to a stop. When it went green they were far behind because they did not go. How many times have you had to honk because the light goes green and they didn’t go?
But, is this government’s job to regulate screen addiction, except maybe procedural like when driving, and that should be a state issue, not a federal?
Illegal vaping, the report states, will be monitored by the Food and Drug Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives via a campaign that stresses the Trump administration will not allow children to gain access to vaping products.
Chinese suppliers have flooded the market with unregulated and flavored vapes, many of which are not approved by the FDA.
The vapes have been absurd for years. The amount of different products is insane. People seem to have some sort of new device constantly, some new flavor. 10 years ago most of the products were by known companies, now, who knows? And the actual liquids for vaping? Who the hell knows? Dems will be against cracking down.
The administration will “increase testing for heavy metals and other contaminants to help ensure access to high-quality and healthy infant formula sold in the United States, and encourage companies to develop new infant formulas,” the report says.
Democrats will be against this. Why? TDS.
