00:02Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. raised eyebrows ahead of the Super Bowl after revealing his
00:07unusual game-day food plans during a Fox News appearance.
00:11While many Americans prepare for a spread of wings, nachos, pizza, and chips, Kennedy
00:15said he would be sticking firmly to his strict carnivore-style diet.
00:19Speaking with Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy, Kennedy explained that his diet consists
00:24mainly of meat and fermented foods.
00:26When asked what he would be eating during the game, he said he would likely choose yogurt,
00:29emphasizing that protein remains his top priority.
00:33Kennedy used the moment to promote his broader message about food and health.
00:36He encouraged Americans to read ingredient labels carefully, especially on popular party
00:40snacks.
00:42He pointed to concerns about seed oils, high-fructose corn syrup, and artificial flavorings, suggesting
00:47that even traditional game-day foods can be made healthier with different ingredients.
00:51The comments align with Kennedy's ongoing, Make America Healthy Again push, which focuses
00:56on reducing ultra-processed foods and increasing consumption of whole, nutrient-dense options.
01:02In the days leading up to the Super Bowl, he also appeared in a health-focused advertisement
01:05alongside former boxing champion Mike Tyson, where both men spoke about the impact of diet
01:10on long-term health and the need for Americans to rethink what they eat.
01:15Kennedy's emphasis on protein also follows his recent statement to cattle industry leaders
01:19that what he called the war on protein is over.
01:24He has voiced support for updated dietary guidelines that give greater prominence to animal-based
01:28proteins and full-fat dairy.
01:31Moves he says, better reflect nutritional science and the needs of Americans.
01:35Not everyone agrees.
01:37Some nutrition experts argue that protein has long been a key part of federal dietary advice
01:41and caution that high consumption of certain animal fats may carry risks if not balanced with
01:45other nutrients.
01:47Still, Kennedy's Super Bowl food choice shows how personal diet, public policy, and cultural
01:51traditions can collide, even on America's biggest sports night.
