Here's the problem: the Republican government is against almost everything that is proven to improve health outcomes.

They are against transit funding, urbanism, bike lanes, etc, and are pro-automobile and pro-car-dependency. Remember when Republicans literally killed high speed rail in Ohio?

They are essentially anti-city almost as a base concept. See all their political jabs at cities like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. One of the healthiest states in terms of obesity rates, California, is the party's punching bag.

The party is trying to end ACA subsidies and is against universal healthcare and access to preventative care. How will Americans access dieticians and nutritionists if they can't afford private health insurance?

How will Americans eat real food if Republicans decide to hold food stamps hostage every time there is a budget dispute?

Trump himself is known to be anti-exercise on a personal level. [1]
