    For his latest video, he joined forces with MAGA-supporting Kid Rock to encourage Americans to “get active” and “eat real food.”

    “I’ve teamed up with @KidRock to deliver two simple messages to the American people: GET ACTIVE + EAT REAL FOOD,” RFK Jr. wrote on X.

    The video shared with the caption featured the 72-year-old politician hitting the gym, lifting weights, playing pickleball, and enjoying a sauna session.

    The pair was also seen taking a dip in the pool and toasting their glasses of milk, as the words “Whole Milk” flashed on the screen.

    “We’re paying for this, aren’t we?” one commenter asked online, echoing concerns that other viewers also had.

    Alyssa Farah Griffin, co-host of The View, reshared the video and asked, “What the [bleep] did I just watch?”

    Some also found it strange that RFK Jr. was in his jeans for the entire workout.

    “Ice plunge with jeans is madness,” one commenter said.

    “Not the jeans in the gym and sauna!” wrote another.

    RFK Jr. previously claimed he finds it “convenient” to work out in his jeans

    He said last year that he was “used to it” and found it “convenient” during a Fox News appearance.

    Kennedy has been promoting the “Make America Healthy Again” campaign to reform the country’s food, health, and scientific systems to tackle the “chronic disease epidemic,” according to the campaign’s website.

    Meanwhile, Kid Rock has been a vocal supporter of Republican politicians and has performed at MAGA-friendly events.

    The country singer headlined the “All-American Halftime Show” this month, organized by Turning Point USA (TPUSA), the right-leaning organization co-founded by the late Charlie Kirk.

    The All-American Halftime Show ran in parallel with the NFL’s official 2026 Super Bowl halftime show that featured Bad Bunny as the headliner.

    The rival show was organized to celebrate “American culture, freedom, and faith,” TPUSA said.

    Kid Rock wasn’t the first celebrity to feature in a video promoting healthy food habits in the US.

    Kennedy previously enlisted boxer Mike Tyson to star in a Super Bowl ad promoting “real food.”

    Tyson spoke about his own addiction to processed foods and how he weighed nearly 350 pounds at one point in his life.

    “I was so fat and nasty – I would eat anything,” he said in the clip. “I had so much self-hate when I was like that.”

    Kennedy called the ad “really serendipitous” and noted that Brett Ratner, the same director who made the Melania documentary, directed the video with Tyson.

    “The two guys, Brett Ratner, who helped produce the ad, had a lifelong friendship with him and understood and was aware of the struggle that Mike had—which he says [was] the biggest struggle, the biggest fight that he had in his lifetime—his fight with obesity,” RFK Jr. said during a Fox News appearance.

    “They gave him a script, the script was not working, and he just started talking, and it’s an extraordinary, powerful ad,” he went on to say.

    “I think it’s the most important ad in Super Bowl history, because it’s a crisis, Peter, that’s existential for us now,” he added.

    Obesity is a widespread problem in the US, owing to the country’s strong reliance on processed food.

    A 40.3% prevalence of obesity was found among adults aged 20 and above, according to August 2021–August 2023 data collected by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

    The prevalence of severe obesity in adults was 9.4%, and women showed higher levels of obesity than men in each age group.
