Melania Trump and Robert F Kennedy Jr are said to be teaming up on a unique health project: reimaging Donald Trump’s regular dietary habits. The President-elect’s love for quick-serve restaurants is widely known, with a particular liking for a 2,400-calorie McDonald’s meal, which includes double servings of both Big Macs and Fillet-O-Fish, complemented with a thick chocolate milkshake.
The incoming First Lady and Trump’s chosen Health and Human Services Secretary are reportedly exerting subtle pressure on the President-elect to reconsider his dietary choices. Their suggestion is to trade his usual fried foods with healthier alternatives, like substituting French fries with wholesome French beans.
A source close to the matter commented, ‘Melania and RFK Jr are putting pressure on President-elect Trump to consider healthier food choices. This would mean less fast food and more balanced meals, complete with lean proteins, refreshing salads and a variety of fresh vegetables to increase energy and overall health.’
Melania Trump is reported to be actively participating in her husband’s transition towards better nutrition. She has been cooking family meals for the President-elect and their son at Trump Tower, which are presumably a healthier alternative. She is also reportedly encouraging him to make better dietary choices.
While these allegations are making the rounds, there’s been debate about their authenticity. A different source was quick to dismiss the rumors, claiming the concept to be ‘unfounded’. They commented, ‘Trump enjoys his food and chooses whatever he likes.’
RFK Jr was recently appointed by President-elect Trump as the leading health official for the country. His responsibilities will include oversight of the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, as well as the Centers for Disease Control.
The newly appointed official has been outspoken about his disdain for processed foods, particularly in children’s lunches in schools, and has advocated for a cleaner food supply, free of harmful chemicals. He is expected to further these aims in his official capacity.
It’s known that RFK Jr holds fast food in low regard. He has been quoted in the past referring to such meals as ‘simply toxic’ due to their reliance on easy to serve, processed food options.
However, despite the previously stated views, RFK Jr was photographed in the company of Donald Trump, known for his love of fast food. The photo sparked a good deal of conjecture on this apparent contradiction.
A source close to the situation conjectured that the photograph could just be a part of a jest directed towards RFK Jr. They commented, ‘RFK Jr is passionate about clean eating and stands firm on his beliefs about processed foods. He is unequivocally not a fan of fast food. It’s highly unlikely that he ate any.’
