The Truth Behind the Left’s Attack On Health
At Socialism 2026, activists argued that modern fitness and health culture can reinforce what they call “health fascism,” connecting the pursuit of fitness to eugenics, ableism, racism, and capitalism. Rich Lowry responds to Beatrice Adler-Bolton and Da’Shaun L. Harrison and examines why health, exercise, obesity, and the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement have become part of a broader political fight. Is encouraging people to exercise, lose weight, and live healthier really oppressive? Rich breaks down the argument and explains why he believes the case against fitness gets both history and health wrong.
