RFK Jr. Brutally Roasted for His Super Bowl Menu
The nation’s top health official sparked online commentary this weekend regarding his Super Bowl snacking plans. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s dietary preferences, revealed during a Fox News interview, quickly became a topic of discussion.
A Carnivore Diet for the Super Bowl
During an appearance on Sunday Briefing, host Peter Doocy asked Kennedy about his Super Bowl snack of choice. The 72-year-old responded that, due to following a carnivore diet, he primarily consumes meat and fermented foods. He stated he would “probably have a yogurt” for the game.
Kennedy did allow that others could enjoy more traditional Super Bowl fare, like Buffalo wings, but cautioned checking ingredient lists for seed oils, corn syrup, and artificial flavors. This permissive approach mirrors his handling of his “79-year-old boss’s” eating habits, admitting he has been unsuccessful in persuading President Donald Trump to abandon McDonald’s and Diet Coke.
Social Media Reaction
Kennedy’s Super Bowl menu choices quickly drew reactions on social media platform X. Some users joked about the implications of a “meat and ferment” diet, while others framed his yogurt preference as incongruous with the “Make America Great Again” movement. One commenter suggested that a similar dietary choice by a different political figure would be met with significant criticism.
The Secretary’s advocacy for a carnivore diet extends beyond his personal consumption. He has recently promoted the diet to the broader public, even creating a new food pyramid that prioritizes red meat. This has raised concerns regarding the sustainability of such a diet, as it would require a substantial amount of land for meat production.
A spokesperson for the Trump administration stated last month that the administration would not “weaponize federal food policy” against American ranchers and protein producers, framing this as a rejection of what they termed the “radical dogma of the Green New Scam.”
