Claimant: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Claim: Obesity is falling partly because people are eating more “real foods” and “good foods.”
Rating: FALSE
Explanation: Experts said there is little evidence that Americans have made major dietary improvements sufficient to explain the decline. Some researchers said the increased use of GLP-1 weight-loss medications is a more plausible contributing factor.
