RFK Jr. barefoot poaching a turkey in animal fat, Cheryl Hines at his side
by RFK Jr. Rejecting government-issued health and safety standards was far beyond his capabilities. Oppose life-saving vaccinationit appears. Politicians fail, presidents are elected by Donald Trump choose for America Secretary of Health and Human Servicesavoid the official guidance — and frankly, common sense — that a chef must wear shoes when performing challenging tasks in the kitchen. Instead, the proposed boss of America’s healthcare chose to go barefoot as he pulled a turkey dripping with boiling oil from a deep fryer while declaring: “This is how we Cooked the MAHA way”.
It all went down in an article was published to Robert F. Kennedy’s former X Twitter account on Thursday, with the caption simply “Happy Thanksgiving,” followed by a turkey emoji. As the video begins, RFK Jr. opened a can of beef tallow—a form of processed beef fat favored by many chefs because it adds flavor to dishes—then pointed to a nearby deep fryer, where more of the fat was bubbling. . “This is beef tallow,” he said redundantly, as he dropped a raw turkey into the oil, one of three he placed on a cardboard box nearby. “This is the dangerous part,” he said when His wife, actress Cheryl Hinescrouched behind an outdoor trellis.
“Honey, are you going to eat some of this?” Kennedy asked Hines, who replied, “Um, no, I don’t eat turkey.” Kennedy chuckled in response as he continued to stare at the bubbling, crackling oil. He did not explain, if Hines refused to participate, who would eat the three turkeys he had lined up to give them a boiling bath.
During that cooking demonstration, the politician wore somewhat sensible hiking-style shoes. Sure, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration request rules Chefs at work must wear protective shoes with leather and oil-resistant soles, but who among us doesn’t shy away from professional guidance at home? If home cooks like you or I occasionally cook in sneakers, it seems like a lot of people assume a man cooks at home. credibly accused of sexual assaultparticipate Beheading a whale on the beachand staged bear death scene Can follow instructions safely and properly.
But something else that home cooks and professionals alike know is that the real “dangerous part” is when you take a hot dish out of the stove, fryer or oven. That’s why it seems strange that in the second half of the video, which takes place after the turkey has been frying for 40 minutes, Kennedy turns around to pick up the dripping bird with his bare feet.
Follow the deep frying instructions from the big bird boss at Butterballthe fat cup Kennedy was using should have been heated to a warm temperature of 375 degrees F. The liquid begins to burn human skin at 140 degrees F, making this point in the cooking process especially dangerous for RFK Jr.’s piglets. (Hines doesn’t appear in the second part of the video—she’s probably taking the opportunity to check her spouse’s phone. for erroneous documents.)
Kennedy has long opposed the use of seed oils for frying, and enthusiastically supported the use of beef tallow as a healthier alternative. expert is divided in this regard, the use of tallow (delicious to many) is just the latest random thing to be used as a weapon MAGA culture war. However, as of publication time, all political sides seem to agree that wearing shoes when working with dangerous, boiling substances is a nonpartisan issue. But who knows what the future will hold as Kennedy attempts to rebuild America in the future he is clearly reasonable and healthy image?
