Marco Rubio prefers Pop Tarts to RFK Jr.'s stinky meat and sauerkraut diet: "Not a sustainable thing"
Washington DC - Secretary of State Marco Rubio shared his opinion on Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s bizarre sauerkraut and meat-based diet.
In a recent interview on The Katie Miller Podcast, Rubio was asked if he adopted Kennedy's diet of meat and fermented vegetables, which he claims reduces visceral fat and supports gut health.
"No! This is a crazy diet. This is a diet that consists of eating sauerkraut and meat… this is not a sustainable thing," Rubio said.
Rubio said Kennedy had to "travel the world with a cooler full of sauerkraut," which he believes is "ridiculous."
He then insisted he was "in favor" of Kennedy's Make America Healthy Again movement, but his wife Jeanette Rubio, who was also in the interview, quickly called him out for lying.
Jeanette revealed her husband loves "sweets," most notably Pop Tarts, which Rubio followed up by describing the snack as "one of the great American innovations in the history of the world."
The secretary also reminisced about how he tried a keto diet once, but said it was a "near-psychotic event" for him, as his body went through withdrawals from dropping carbohydrates and sugars.
Prior to President Donald Trump tapping him to lead the health department, Kennedy was a well-known anti-vaccine activist who regularly promoted health-related misinformation and conspiracy theories.
Earlier this year, RFK Jr. faced heavy criticism from the science and health communities after he falsely claimed a Harvard University professor had "cured schizophrenia using keto diets."
