RFK Jr. Enjoys a Burger and Fries at a Steak ‘n Shake, and It’s a Significant Cultural Moment:

“RFK’d Fries! Too much Flavor! Too much Winning!”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could well be the first secretary of health and human services since the department was rebranded in 1981, and maybe even the first since the Department of Health, Education and Welfare was established in 1953, to be determined to take positive and concrete steps actually to improve the health of Americans rather than to line the pockets of Big Pharma or promote the nationalization and bureaucratization of the health care system. With precisely the goal of improving Americans’ health in mind, RFK Jr. traveled to Florida over the weekend and stopped by the popular burger joint Steak ‘n Shake.

Fox News reported Monday that RFK made the trip to Steak ‘n Shake to honor its announcement that “it would be cooking its iconic shoestring fries in beef tallow.” RFK said, “Steak ‘n Shake has been great. We’re very grateful [to] them for RFK’ing the french fries. They turned me into a verb.”

RFK was referring to a March 2 post on X, in which Steak ‘n Shake declared with Trumpian exuberance: “RFK’d Fries! Too much Flavor! Too much Winning!” Quite aside from the health benefits of cooking fries with beef tallow instead of vegetable oil, this in itself was a significant cultural moment. There are still numerous corporations out there that will happily feature all manner of leftist cultural figures in their advertising, and do so without a second thought. They would recoil in horror, however, at the prospect of featuring Trump or anyone who supported him.

It has been this way for as long as fast food joints have eschewed beef tallow, and possibly longer. American popular culture has treated leftism as the default mode, and patriotism as some sort of weird anomaly that only deserved marginal tolerance at best. Whenever a patriot broke out of this cultural straitjacket and made an appearance in a nonpolitical forum, leftists made such a hue and cry that usually the sponsor of the forum in question immediately backtracked, apologized, and, of course, dropped the patriot.

Remember, to take just one of a myriad possible examples, back in 2003, when Rush Limbaugh briefly became a professional football commentator for ESPN? The outcry was so shrill and so insistent that ESPN tacked hard in the opposite direction, not only dropping Rush but becoming a woke propaganda organ that occasionally pretended to be a sports network. —>READ MORE HERE

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. thanks fast food chain Steak ‘n Shake for ‘RFKing’ french fries: ‘Customers are raving about it’:

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday claimed that people have been “raving” about Steak ‘n Shake’s french fries ever since the fast food chain stopped using seed oils in its recipe.

“Steak ‘n Shake just switched out, and people are raving about these french fries,” Kennedy told Fox News host Sean Hannity, during an interview from one of the chain’s restaurants in Florida.

“It’s a completely different experience,” the HHS secretary said of the fries, which the company now makes with beef tallow in place of vegetable oil.

“The customers are raving about it,” he continued. “Steak and Shake has been great. We’re very grateful to them for RFKing the french fries.”

Kennedy, while chowing down on fries and a double cheeseburger, noted that he believes seed oils could be one of the main catalysts behind the “epidemic” of chronic disease in America.

“Seed oil is one of the components of processed foods, and all the science indicates that ultra-processed foods are the principal culprit in this extraordinary explosion — the epidemic we have of chronic disease,” he said.

The HHS secretary has previously mentioned that ending the “childhood chronic disease epidemic” will be one of his top priorities during President Trump’s second term.

Despite Kennedy’s concerns with seed oils and processed foods, he said he wouldn’t support an outright ban on the products, preferring to instead “incentivize” companies to transition away from seed oils, like Steak ‘n Shake did on March 1. —>READ MORE HERE
