Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Promotes New YouTube Cooking Show, Says He Has No Gag Reflex

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared in an interview with USA Today White House correspondent Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy to launch his government‑funded YouTube cooking series, The Real Food Show. During the segment, Kennedy claimed he "will literally eat anything" and that he "doesn't have a gag reflex," adding he would try foods from street vendors or even items he finds on the street.

When pressed about any particularly shocking foods he has eaten, Kennedy said he was receiving a signal not to answer and moved the conversation to other topics. He also used the platform to urge parents to vaccinate children against measles, referencing the high effectiveness of the vaccine. The interview followed a recent contentious State of the Union appearance where Kennedy discussed COVID‑19, rising measles cases, and vaccine efficacy.
