HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. is spearheading health initiatives in West Virginia, the most obese state in the U.S. During a joint announcement with Governor Patrick Morrisey, they revealed plans to ban certain food dyes. Additionally, Morrisey's administration has submitted a waiver to prevent SNAP participants from purchasing soda. Kennedy urged other governors to follow suit, emphasizing the importance of eliminating soda subsidies for low-income families. He also humorously challenged Morrisey's health by proposing a rigorous diet and public weigh-ins to motivate the governor's weight loss journey.
I urge every governor to follow West Virginia's lead and submit a waiver to the USDA to remove soda from SNAP. If there's one thing we can agree on, it should be eliminating taxpayer-funded soda subsidies for lower-income kids.
The first time I saw him, I said, 'You look like you ate Governor Morrisey.' I am going to put him on a really rigorous regimen, and we're gonna put him on a carnivore diet.
