Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. encouraged states to submit a waiver to block government food programs from covering soda purchases.
Kennedy said in a post on X that states can help lead the way to a healthier America.
"If there's one thing we can agree on, it should be eliminating taxpayer-funded soda subsidies for lower income kids," he said.
Kennedy visited West Virginia to attend an event with Gov. Patrick Morrisey to bring attention to that state's ban on several food dyes from being used in school nutrition programs.
