Rubio rejects RFK's 'crazy' diet, jokes Pop-Tarts are 'one of the great American innovations'

Secretary of State Marco Rubio jokingly proclaimed his love of Pop-Tarts while rejecting Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.

Kennedy Jr.'s diet during an interview with podcast host Katie Miller on Tuesday.

Rubio appeared with his wife, Jeanette, on "The Katie Miller Podcast" , during which Miller asked his thoughts about Kennedy's reported diet of "red meat and fermented vegetables." "This is a crazy diet," Rubio said in jest.

"This is a diet that consists of eating sauerkraut and meat.

Now you understand, like, this is not a sustainable thing ...

He has to travel with coolers of sauerkraut! I'm not going to travel the world with a cooler full of sauerkraut.

It's ridiculous.

I can't do it." HOW MARCO RUBIO IS RIDING LAUGHTER AND MEMES TO SOCIAL MEDIA DOMINANCE During the exchange, Rubio clarified that he was in favor of Kennedy's "MAHA," or "Make America Healthy Again" movement, though his wife pushed back, claiming that he eats Pop-Tarts.

"No, I don't eat Pop-Tarts every day," Rubio said.

"You eat sweets," Jeanette said.

"The Pop-Tart is one of the great American innovations in the history of the world, if you think about it.

It comes in this beautiful foil package," Rubio joked.

"He eats all the things you should not be eating.

Like every single thing," Jeanette insisted.
