Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s staff cut off a USA Today interview question about the grossest food he has ever eaten, moments after he admitted eating “stuff I find on the street.”

“…I will literally eat anything… I don’t have a gag reflex,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Chambers. “When I travel, I’ll eat, you know, even stuff I find on the street, you know, street vendors, cooking.”

“Like, is there stuff that you’ve eaten that people are like, wow. You ate that,” Chambers asked.

“You mean, like, something gross? Or?” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. replied.

“Yes. Maybe gross for others. Yeah. Not for you,” Chambers said.

“I’m getting a signal not to answer that question,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said, shutting down the line of questioning.

    Nope.

    But for all of RFK jr.'s many faults, I don’t consider eating roadkill or stuff out of the garbage to be counted among them. Matter of fact, I consider both to be examples of not wasting food, which is good.

      Fresh roadkill? Alright probably safe, but the man has had brain worms so he probably isn’t taking care in what eats.

        Eh, even bad meat that is cooked properly (burned to leather, basically) is edible…it just tastes like death.
