Fight against fast food?
Kennedy shown eating a burger with Trump
On Saturday, a photo of US politician Robert F. Kennedy appeared on X showing him eating a burger. He is eating fries and drinking a Coke. The picture caused a stir because Kennedy announced that he wanted to take action against fast food ....
In the picture, the politician, who is set to become health minister, can be seen at a table with US President-elect Donald Trump (2nd from left) and tech billionaire Elon Musk (left). In front of them are trays of chips, burgers, various sauces and sodas such as Coke. They smile into the camera, Trump's son Donald Jr. holds up his fries. The picture was posted by US health scientist Eric Feigl-Ding - a member of the Democratic Party - among others.
In the accompanying text, Feigl-Ding reminded us that cola contains a lot of sugar and that burgers are highly processed foods. The picture, which was first published by Donald Trump Junior with the description "Making America healthy again, starts tomorrow", was probably taken on an airplane.

"Conflict of interest"
Under the posting, many take the Democrat's side, writing of a "conflict of interest", a "new cholesterol diet plan for everyone" and a previous outcry. The background: Kennedy had announced that he wanted to combat obesity in the USA. In future, there would therefore be no more vouchers for sugary soft drinks or highly processed foods. Fast food is toxic because of the oil it contains. In general, "the epidemic of chronic diseases in the USA" should be stopped.
Fear of chemicals?
His campaign may have something to do with his conspiracy theories. For example, Kennedy had claimed in the past that chemicals in the environment would turn children into transgender people. An urgent reason, then, to take action against highly processed foods? "Make America Healthy Again", proclaimed the 70-year-old, echoing Trump's slogan "Make America Great Again". Incidentally, the US President-elect says he likes to eat fast food - for which he has already been criticized by his confidants.
However, one user on X points out that eating burgers and fries does not necessarily mean you have to eat unhealthily.
