Summary

In 1960, less than 5% of American children were obese. Today, that number has quadrupled. Autism, once diagnosed in 1 out of every 10,000 children, is now found in 1 out of 31. And for the first time in modern history, our children are expected to live shorter lives than their parents. This isn’t a mere health crisis—it’s a moral reckoning.



Earlier this month, the Department of Health and Human Services released a 69-page report under the direction of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., diagnosing the American child health epidemic as a symptom of environmental toxins, poor nutrition, chronic stress, and what he calls “overmedicalization,” and said that “America is literally the sickest country in the world.” Critics from legacy media were quick to dismiss the report—some for its skepticism toward the pharmaceutical industry, others for its emphasis on personal responsibility over systemic reform. But even the loudest detractors had to confront the numbers: skyrocketing rates of cancer, obesity, ADHD, and mental illness in a nation that spends more on healthcare than any other civilization in history.



Here’s the truth: We are not simply failing to treat disease—we are cultivating it. And the national debt we should be most concerned with isn’t fiscal, but moral: a debt owed to our children, for the bodies we’ve poisoned, the minds we’ve dulled, and the institutions we’ve trusted to care for them.



This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors. You can join our Patreon at patreon.com/rightresponseministries or donate at rightresponseministries.com/donate.



So what now? What does Christian responsibility look like in the face of a national health crisis—one that implicates not just bureaucrats and corporations, but the way we shop, eat, parent, and medicate? Let’s talk about it.
