President Donald Trump’s high testosterone levels and ability to survive a fast-food diet “full of poison” have left Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in awe.

Days after launching the Trump administration’s new dietary guidelines, RFK Jr. sat down for an interview on the “Katie Miller Podcast,” hosted by the wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. When asked who among his colleagues have the most “unhinged” eating habits, Kennedy was quick with his answer.

“The president,” he responded bluntly, earning a laugh from Miller.

“The interesting thing about the president is that he eats really bad food, which is McDonald’s, and you know candy and Diet Coke. He drinks Diet Coke at all times,” Kennedy continued. “He has the constitution of a deity. I don’t know how he’s alive, but he is.”

Kennedy noted the president’s eating habits are significantly worse while on the road, but that’s mostly because he trusts “food from big corporations” and wants to avoid getting sick. That all changes when he’s at the White House or staying in Florida at Mar-a-Lago, where he’s typically eating “really good food,” Kennedy explained.

“If you travel with him, you get this idea that he’s just pumping himself full of poison all day long, and you don’t know how he’s walking around, much less being the most energetic person, you know, any of us have ever met,” Kennedy said.

RFK further highlighted the president’s “incredible health” with an anecdote about Dr. Mehmet Oz, who serves as the administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

“Dr. Oz looked at his medical records and said he’s got the highest testosterone level that he’s ever seen for an individual over 70 years old,” Kennedy said. “I know the president will be happy that I repeat that.”

Kennedy, a fierce critic of processed foods, has spearheaded the “Make America Healthy Again” movement. Earlier this week, he unveiled new healthy eating guidelines that take aim at “highly processed foods, saturated fats and sugary drinks,” encouraging people to stay away from “packaged, prepared, ready-to-eat or other foods that are salty or sweet, such as chips, cookies and candy.”

“Today, our government declares a war on added sugar,” he said.
