Health secretary, under fire for his response to the measles outbreak, attacked seed oils in Sean Hannity interview

Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr appeared with a cheeseburger and fries in a nationally televised interview on Fox News – a highly unusual move for a federal health official.

The appearance, in which he endorsed the decision of burger chain Steak ‘N Shake to cook its fries in beef tallow, comes as the secretary has attacked seed oils and made claims about the measles vaccine that lack context.
