Jacob Rees-Mogg has backed Boris Johnson's view on Britain's obesity crisis, highlighting a deep "spiritual desert" in the nation. He pointed fingers at religious institutions, especially the Church of England, for neglecting the spiritual needs of the people.

Johnson controversially linked the obesity epidemic to this lack of spiritual guidance, suggesting that many resort to "gorging" themselves to fill the void. Current statistics reveal that a significant number of adults and children in the UK are overweight or obese, adding to the economic strain faced by the country.
