RFK Jr. dares governor of America’s fattest state to do regular public weigh-ins
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is on a mission to make America healthy again, and he’s tackling the country’s most obese state — and its governor.
West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey, R, and Kennedy held a joint event on Friday to announce a ban on certain food dyes. The governor also took the opportunity to announce that his state has submitted a waiver that would prohibit Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants from using the benefits to purchase soda.
Morrisey celebrated the move, saying his state was “putting ‘nutrition’ back into the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.”
