A presidential message for Child Health Day cites rising rates of childhood obesity, diabetes, allergies, autism, and mental health conditions, attributing them to unspecified 'failed policies' of prior administrations. It credits the Make Our Children Healthy Again Strategy with '120 specific actions,' including removing artificial dyes from food and encouraging less screen time, without detailing results from any of them.

The message also claims the first year of the administration produced 'the lowest death rate recorded in our country's history,' offered with no context on cause, population, or source.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

A hundred and twenty actions is a lot of activity to announce without one result to show for any of it. If a hired hand told you he'd done a hundred and twenty things around the barn, you'd want to know whether the roof still leaks. And the lowest death rate in the country's history, tossed in with no source, sounds like a number that grew a little each time somebody repeated it.
