President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., on Thursday held an event vowing a major public health overhaul following the release of the "MAHA report", which pointed to over-prescription of pharmaceuticals, processed foods, and a lack of physical activity for the state of American health.
