Secretary of Health and Human Services on Trump’s Diet
In a recent podcast, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. expressed surprise that President Trump is in good health, given his notorious love for fast food and Diet Coke.
“This is the president,” Kennedy remarked during an episode of “Katie Miller’s Podcast,” when asked about disordered eating in the Cabinet.
“What’s intriguing is that he consumes really unhealthy food like McDonald’s and Diet Coke,” RFK Jr. noted. “He has the constitution of a god. Honestly, I have no idea how he’s still around.”
Since forming an alliance between the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) and Make America Great Again (MAGA) movements, health advocates have shown clear concern over the president’s junk food habits.
Kennedy has often criticized fast and processed foods, working to eliminate dubious additives from products, especially artificial colors.
Recently, the White House introduced a new food pyramid that highlights the importance of protein and saturated fats.
“When you’re at Mar-a-Lago or the White House, the food is exceptional,” he explained to Miller, who is married to White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller. “But when he travels, it seems like he’s just saving his vice for later. It’s wild how he keeps going, always the most energetic person in the room.”
President Trump is known to be a germaphobe, insisting that all drinks be opened in his presence. He reportedly mentioned that he prefers fast food while out because he trusts big corporations for safety.
During his 2024 campaign, Trump famously worked a shift at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania. Following his election win, he even had Kennedy pose with a Big Mac and a Coca-Cola during a flight.
Trump afterwards joked, “I once fed Bobby Kennedy a Big Mac.” He claimed Kennedy enjoyed it.
Since then, Trump has adopted some of Kennedy’s health recommendations, such as advising pregnant women to stay away from Tylenol due to its possible links to autism.
Kennedy asserted, “He’s incredibly healthy.” He recalled that Dr. Mehmet Oz reviewed Trump’s medical records and found his testosterone levels to be the highest he’d seen in someone over seventy.
“I’m sure the president will appreciate that I brought it up,” Kennedy added.
