From the Daily Caller: “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg accused Health and Human Services (HHS) nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. of fat shaming heavyset Americans by encouraging healthy lifestyle choices over weight-loss drugs during a Thursday segment.
Kennedy has repeatedly accused the medical industry of prescribing medications rather than encouraging good lifestyle choices, telling CNBC’s Jim Cramer Thursday that Americans should first rely on healthy lifestyle choices and nutritious diets before being prescribed GLP-1 weight-loss drugs. Goldberg argued that Kennedy’s encouragement for healthy lifestyle choices is “setting folks up for shame” and said she relied on medication to lose weight.
“This isn’t just about food,” Goldberg said. “This is sometimes — people are born genetically larger. But I want to say this to [Kennedy], because you’re setting folks up for shame … Maybe you don’t know you’re doing it, I’m gonna give you the benefit of the doubt. I’m gonna say you don’t know, you don’t realize what you do to people when you say stuff like that because it doesn’t work for everybody and I’m gonna show you sir, because I weighed close to 300 [pounds] less than 2 years ago, and without the Mounjaro, this would not have happened.”
Goldberg then stood up and showed off her figure, as the audience obligingly applauded.

Last week, Kennedy commented on social media, “We are sick because the government is subsidizing junk food.”
