Well a good place to start with all of that is (my home state) West Virginia, which has long had the distinction of one of the unhealthiest states in the country.

According to the latest numbers from the CDC, West Virginia has the highest rate of adult obesity in the country. (Back when I was in college in West Virginia, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver even came to Huntington, which was then the fattest city in the country, to do a TV show about trying to make school lunches healthier to help out with the obesity problem).
The state also leads the nation in heart disease while having the second-lowest life expectancy of any state in the country. As we say in West Virginia, thank God for Mississippi.
It’s a problem that’s clearly connected with the poverty in the state and the lack of access to affordable, nutritional food. And it’s one that West Virginia’s legislature seems eager to tackle, recently passing legislation that bans certain dyes in public school lunches and eventually all food in the Mountain State.
Well RFK Jr. made a trip to West Virginia today to speak with Governor Patrick Morrisey and promote his healthy agenda, where he praised the state for stepping up to be a leader on his Make America Healthy Again initiatives.
“Today marks a powerful step toward a healthier future for our children. We are restoring public trust in our health agencies and working to Make America Healthy Again by eliminating harmful food dyes from school lunches and ensuring taxpayer-funded nutrition programs promote wholesome, nourishing choices. By signing this law, Governor Morrisey has shown his commitment to giving our children the healthy food they deserve.”
But while he was there, he also had some advice for Morrisey as well:
“I said to Governor Morrisey the first time I saw him, I said ‘You look like you ate Governor Morrisey.’
And there was a lot of talk about getting healthy again, and I’m very happy that he’s invited me to be his personal trainer. And I am going to put him on a really rigorous regimen. And we’re going to put him on a carnivore diet. We’re going to make him do – raise your hand if you want Governor Morrisey to do a public weigh-in once a month.
And then when he’s lost 30 lbs I’m going to come back to the state and do a celebration and a public weigh-in with him.”
