The claim stems from satire.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

President-elect Donald Trump recently announced several new choices for his Cabinet, among them was Dr. Mehmet Oz,\u00a0<\/span>USA Today<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>reported. He also announced Howard Lutnick, Linda McMahon and Sean Duffy as his choices for other roles in his Cabinet.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

A post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, purports RFK Jr. invited fast food CEOs to the White House.\u00a0 The post shared an image of the alleged invitation, which looks to be another X post.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The alleged post reads, \u201cAttention, all fast-food CEOs! Donald Trump and I are inviting you to the White House on January 23, 2025. Bring your best ideas because it\u2019s time to clean up the menu. Seed oils & harmful ingredients are on the chopping block. Help us Make America Healthy Again! MAGA+MAHA.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The claim is inaccurate. The screenshot image that was posted cuts off the full name of the account. No such post appears on Kennedy\u2019s authentic\u00a0<\/span>X account<\/a>. The post stems from a Kennedy Parody account called\u00a0<\/span>Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (Parody).<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Kennedy has criticized the fast food industry\u2019s use of seed oil and suggested that tallow\u00a0<\/span>should replace it, according to Newsweek<\/a>. Kennedy was photographed with Trump and other with a McDonald\u2019s meal while on Trump\u2019s private jet.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

He responded to the photo while on Fox & Friends saying, \u201cI don\u2019t have anything against fast food. I\u2019m against food that has seed oils. When I was a kid, McDonald\u2019s was made with tallow [animal] fat, that was good for you, and your body needs that, it makes you healthy. Why aren\u2019t we making it with tallow fat again?\u201d\u00a0<\/span>(RELATED: Has McDonald\u2019s Offered RFK Jr. $850 Million In \u2018Hush Money\u2019?)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

This is not the first time misinformation surrounding McDonald\u2019s has circulated online. Check Your Fact recently\u00a0<\/span>debunked<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>a claim Elon Musk is purchasing the company.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
