A photo posted on Donald Trump Jr.’s Instagram page shows President-elect Donald Trump, his new health czar Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Tesla CEO Elon Musk eating McDonald’s meals. The photo was taken on board Trump Force One as they headed to the UFC fight in NYC on Saturday night.
Donald Trump Jr wrote on Instagram “Make America Healthy Again starts TOMORROW,” while jokingly implying that RFK Jr was “bullied” into eating McDonald’s.
The photo was triggering to some Americans who were shocked that RFK Jr. was eating fast food. Trump appointed RFK Jr. as America’s next health secretary. He is pictured in an awkward pose with a McDonald’s burger, fries and an unopened bottle of Coca-Cola.
RFK Jr has vowed to “Make America Healthy Again” by firing half of the employees at the FDA and removing dangerous chemicals from food.
RFK Jr was highly critical of the food during his election campaign, and even described Mr Trump’s diet as “really bad”.
“Campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes on to [Trump Force One] is, like, just poison,” he told podcaster Joe Polish.
“You have a choice between – you don’t have the choice, you’re either given KFC or Big Macs. That’s when you’re lucky, and then the rest of the stuff I consider kind of inedible.”
After Mr Trump worked a shift at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s last month, RFK Jr said the burgers and fries should be cooked in beef fat rather than seed oils.
“That was good for you. Your body needs that, it makes you healthy,” Kennedy said on Fox News. “Why aren’t we making it with tallow fat again?”
RFK denied a report that he plans to ban fast food. He said fast food is part of American culture.
But he will make fast food healthy again by forcing restaurants to remove preservatives like citric acid, which gives food a longer shelf life and causes gastric ulcers in humans.
