Marco Rubio outed as Pop-Tart fiend who can’t stomach RFK’s ‘coolers full of sauerkraut’
Secretary of State Marco Rubio can barely stomach the Trump administration's wellness obsession.
Appearing on the Katie Miller podcast this week — hosted by the wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller — alongside his own wife, Jeanette, Rubio torched the carnivore-and-fermented regimen pushed by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the face of the "Make America Healthy Again" movement.
Kennedy has bragged that he eats almost nothing but "meat and ferments," a diet loaded with red meat and sauerkraut, which he credits for shedding 20 pounds in 20 days.
Rubio took a different view of the fad diet.
"I'm not gonna travel the world with a cooler full of sauerkraut," he said, marveling that Kennedy reportedly lugs the fermented cabbage everywhere he goes. "It's ridiculous. I can't do it. It's not sustainable."
Even so, the secretary quickly insisted he supports the MAHA push and wants Americans to be healthy — he's just not living it himself. Vice President JD Vance had flagged his infamous sweet tooth, and Jeanette happily confirmed her husband's weakness for ice cream, sugar and fast food.
Rubio's real allegiance: a breakfast pastry.
"The Pop-Tart is one of the great American innovations in the history of the world," he declared, gushing over its foil pack and 30-second prep. He took issue with his wife's report that he eats them regularly.
When Rubio tried to claim he was "MAHA," Jeanette was having none of it.
"No he is not," she said, cutting him off. "He is completely not."
When asked, "What does he eat?" she immediately replied, "Pop-Tarts! You eat sweets!"
Rubio was no kinder to keto, another diet with fans in Kennedy's orbit. Rubio said a stab at the no-sugar plan years ago sent him into such brutal withdrawal that, had he attempted it as America's top diplomat, he might have urged Trump to "bomb Paraguay" for no reason.
The jabs come as Kennedy doubles down on his food crusade, recently launching a cooking show critics savaged.
