• Medical schools fail to teach nutrition despite diet-related diseases killing more than 1 million Americans annually.

• Kennedy and McMahon demand federal funding be tied to mandatory nutrition education reforms in medical schools.

• Current medical training averages just 1.2 hours of nutrition education per year, leaving doctors unprepared.

• New requirements include nutrition in pre-med, curricula, exams, residencies, certifications, and continuing education.

• Kennedy's plan shifts healthcare from treating sickness to preventing disease through food-as-medicine approaches.

America's medical schools have long been churning out doctors who are trained to prescribe pills but clueless about the power of food as medicine. Now, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Education Secretary Linda McMahon are taking a stance against this irresponsible trend. In a bold move to combat the nation's chronic disease crisis, the two officials are demanding that medical schools finally take nutrition education seriously or risk losing federal support.

The announcement, made August 27, comes as part of Kennedy's Make America Healthy Again agenda, which aims to slash the $4.4 trillion spent annually on preventable diseases by addressing root causes like poor diet. The problem? Most doctors graduate with almost no training in nutrition despite diet-related illnesses killing over 1 million Americans every year.
