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.

    A little tangential since it’s not about RFKJr himself, but Sean O’Mara, the doctor giving dietary advice to the Trump cabinet had this to say, as reported in the NYT:

    “When you start eating healthy, you don’t need toilet paper,” he claimed. “Animals in the wild have no residual stool on their anus.” He described a proper bowel movement to me this way: odorless, wipe-free, over in three to seven seconds and “nearly orgasmic.” … “I could have a bowel movement behind a sheet at a dinner party in the corner of the room,” he said, “and nobody would know.”

    Trump and/or his closest allies are taking advice from a doctor who doesn’t wipe his ass. And he’s proud of it.
