I'm glad he recognizes Americans have serious health issues that need to be addressed and is not just business as usual. I'm not sure that his approach which calls for ignoring a lot of science and re prioritizing research and science is going to work to address them though. The problem is he believes in conspiracy theories. So, we will see.

numbers are incorrect wrote:
Sometimes hipness is what it ain't wrote:
Autism now affects 1 in 36 every kids, a 4x increase from decades ago
18% of kids have fatty liver disease
38% are diabetic
over 40% are obese
Girls are reaching puberty 6 years earlier than historical generations
I'm a supporter of Kennedy but these numbers are not even close if this is what he stated ( I didn't watch the video).
Adult obesity is around 40%; adolescent obesity is around 20%
Adult diabetes is around 11%; adolescent diabetes is around 0.3%
I just watched the video and I'm going to amend my post. The OP was not completely accurate in his statements. Kennedy stated:
"Nearly 38% are diabetic or pre-diabetic. And more than 40% are overweight or obese."
Pre-diabetic means having a fasting plasma glucose level of 100<FPG<125. I can certainly see 38% of teens in this category.
When you include "overweight" teens, the numbers make more sense. For someone 5'8" tall, obese is 197 pounds while overweight is only 165 according to BMI. For someone 6'0" tall, obese is 221 while overweight is only 184. I can definitely see 40% of American teens who are 5'8" weighting at least 165 pounds and those 6'0" weighing at least 184.
