“I don’t have a gag reflex, let me put it like that.”

“I love all different kinds of foods. When I travel, I’ll eat, you know — even stuff I find on the street, street vendors,” he continued
Kennedy made a similar brag about eating “virtually anything” back in 2024 but that time he listed three exceptions: humans, monkeys and dogs

The health secretary has a bizarre history with dead animals and was once linked to a photo that allegedly showed him eating a barbecued dog carcass (he denied the claim and Snopes found the animal carcass was a lamb)
