in World News RFK Jr. Eats Steak ‘n Shake on Live TV — Celebrates Fast Food Chain’s Bold Move to Fry in Beef Tallow
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now serving as Secretary of Health and Human Services under President Trump, made waves on Monday when he joined Sean Hannity for an interview at a Florida Steak ‘n Shake location.
The two conservative powerhouses dug into burgers and fries while discussing the real health crisis gripping America—one caused by decades of government-endorsed junk science that pushed seed oils and ultra-processed foods on the public.
Earlier this year, Steak ‘n Shake announced that by February 2025, all its locations will transition away from vegetable oil—a product long criticized for its links to inflammation, obesity, and chronic disease.
“Our fries will now be cooked in an authentic way, 100% beef tallow, in order to achieve the highest quality and best taste,” said Chris Ward, chief supply chain officer for Steak ‘n Shake.
The move marks a dramatic shift away from the seed oil industrial complex, which has dominated the fast-food industry for years under the guise of “healthier eating.”
According to RFK Jr., these oils—often derived from soybeans, canola, and corn—are a key culprit behind America’s obesity epidemic and skyrocketing rates of chronic disease.
