Robert F Kennedy Jr , the health secretary, appeared with a cheeseburger and fries in a nationally televised interview on Fox News .

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

Kennedy has moved to make the health department significantly less transparent using a little known provision called the “ Richardson waiver”.
