RFK Jr lays into to Donald Trump's love of fast food
by ED HOLT · Mail OnlineRobert F. Kennedy Jr. has slammed Donald Trump's love of fast food, including McDonald's, describing the food he eats as 'poison' and 'really bad.'
The former independent candidate-turned MAGA supporter is tipped for a top role in the White House if not in the cabinet.
RFK Jr has been advising President-elect Trump on health policy and has previously been tipped as a potential Health Secretary.
The staunch anti-vaxxer supports an array of outlandish conspiracy theories including a belief mass shootings are linked prescription drugs.
The Daily Beast reported that the man who is advising Trump on his public health policies has now took aim at his potential future boss by criticising the President-elect's love of fast food.
During an interview with podcaster Joe Polish RFK Jr said: 'The stuff that he (Trump) eats is really, like, bad.
'Campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes onto that airplane is like just poison. 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.'

The Daily Beast reported that the former Democrat also revealed that a close friend of Trump's claimed to have never seen the billionaire drink water.
It has been widely reported that Trump lives off of Diet Coke. During his previous stint in the Oval Office, Trump would use a button to alert a butler to bring him his favorite chilled soft drink while he was going through paperwork.
During the campaign trail, Trump donned black and yellow apron and worked a shift at a McDonald's in Philadelphia in a move designed to troll Kamala Harris - who claimed to have worked at the fast food franchise.
He learnt the process of how to make french fries and also took a turn at the drive-thru counter – catering to a handful of prearranged 'customers' who were supporters.
'I'm having a lot of fun here, everybody,' he declared at the time.
RFK Jr is also concerned about the lack of sleep Trump gets. He said the 78-year-old regularly goes without sleep.
RFK Jr even claimed that before his acceptance speech last week Trump had not slept in up to 48 hours.
