RFK Jr. poses with Big Mac and a Coke on Trump Force One — amid pledge to make America healthy

He’s going to make America healthy again — right after this combo meal.

Former presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was spotted on Trump Force One sheepishly posing with a McDonald’s Big Mac and a Coca-Cola.

The food choice — a favorite of President-elect Donald Trump — is seemingly at odds with RFK Jr.’s crusade to overhaul the US food system and beef up public health.

Kennedy, 70, was seated next to a smiling group comprised of President-elect Donald Trump, tech guru Elon Musk and Donald Trump Jr. who looked delighted with their fast food on board Trump’s Boeing 757 during a trip to UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden Saturday.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who wasn’t sitting at the table with a McDonald’s meal managed to slip into the picture as well.

“Campaign food is always bad, but the food that goes onto that airplane is, like, just poison,” Kennedy previously told podcaster Joe Polish last week. “You have a choice between — you don’t have the choice, you’re either given KFC or Big Macs.”

“That’s when you’re lucky, and then the rest of the stuff I consider kind of inedible.”

Kennedy further groused that “the stuff that [Trump] eats is really, like, bad.”

Trump, 78, caused a stir last week by announcing Kennedy as his pick to helm the Department of Health and Human Services, fulfilling his promise to let the onetime presidential hopeful “go wild” on public health.

Kennedy has long crusaded against a variety of preservatives and also industrial chemicals that are put into US food, calling for a national crackdown.

Kennedy railed against government restrictions on raw milk, psychedelics, peptides, stem cells and more.

He has also ignited concerns among public health experts by expressing concerns about the safety practices in vaccine and drug development, demanding more transparency.

Despite fear among his critics, Kennedy was adamant that he wouldn’t “take away anybody’s vaccines.”

Shortly after Trump’s Nov. 5 victory, Kennedy teased plans for the White House to advise water suppliers against adding fluoride to public water.

The photo of Kennedy next to a McDonald’s meal was posted on social media by several Trump confidants, including campaign deputy director of communications Margo Martin and Trump Jr.

Kennedy ran for president as an independent before dropping out of the race in August and backing Trump, who publicly embraced his call for reforming public health policies.

“The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country,” Trump said in a social media post announcing Kennedy as his HHS Secretary pick.

“Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!”
