RFK Jr. Fat-Shames WV Governor in Health Push

During a visit to West Virginia, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly fat-shamed Governor Patrick Morrisey, suggesting a personal training regimen and monthly public weigh-ins if Morrisey loses 30 pounds. Kennedy's remarks came during a discussion of health initiatives, including a law banning certain food dyes and proposed changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). While Kennedy's comments drew laughter, they were meant to highlight the state's health challenges, as West Virginia has the highest obesity rate in the U.S., with an adult obesity prevalence of 41%. Governor Morrisey responded with humor and acknowledged the need for more exercise, aligning with Kennedy's health movement, 'Make America Healthy Again' (MAHA).
