Exactly, when I was young, you seldom saw people overweight and never obese people.

[Jeff-fbhn]

Thankyou RFK. Someone finally has the balls to talk about this!!

[erics]

I don’t think he said that in a rude way he’s just being honest

Context: He's criticizing the unsafe food that are allowed to be sold in America. Which he names as a reason for the increased obesity rate.

So basically you're allowed to poison people but don't you dare criticize or make fun of them.

When leaders aren't afraid to speak the truth, great things happen.

SINCERITY… RFK has it, unlike most politicians we see.

[backtoasimplelife]

Finally a prominent figure, who appears to practice what he's preaching, is calling out the insidious madness. Thank you sir.

[gcruishank]

Can’t remember ever hearing a politician talking about these things. His speech was very moving.

[BANDITDAY]

He’s right. I am 55 years old, work full-time and still manage to hike in the woods 4 miles per day. People need to get off their lazy asses. Your body is your tool to navigate through this life.

He's right, although this clip was shortened to make him look bad, obesity is a crisis that needs to be addressed. America is sliding down hill and the media is shitting on anyone that throws a life line.

[Lise-LotteNilsson-pk]

You American people should be very glad to have such a great man as RFK jr. I wish we have a leader like him in Sweden. 🙏♥️

[lmahwikizi]

This clip and headline are extremely misleading. He is not “calling out” obese people. He is sharing statistics in our country before explaining that the trend is due to corruption in the food lobbies and pharmaceutical industries. This is not people’s fault. It’s our broken food system.

[hollygolightly]

Thank you RFK you are right. I remember being a kid when no one was fat. I had a friend who moved from the Uk a year ago and within 6 months she became overweight.

RFK Jr.❤ To Make America Healthy Again!!!❤🎉❤ & Save Our Children So We May Live The American Dream!!🎉❤🎉

[emiliebova]

This is a major health problem that needs to be addressed more honestly. Reducing the cost of insulin is not dealing with the causes of obesity.

[devinmurray]

All the super processed foods. Such things never used to exist. And in much of the world much of what’s in them is banned. Not in the US because of course we have the FDA looking out for us.

[KseniaKsenia]

It is disgraceful what they are doing to our children

Makes me sick at the grocery store… Seeing the carts heaped full of crap food, and snacks🤮
