Internet reacts to RFK Jr. recreating Jon Hamm meme
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s (RFK Jr.) attempt to recreate a popular Jon Hamm meme has sparked a wave of laughter and jokes online. The original meme, featuring Jon Hamm enjoying whole milk, depicts savoring life’s simple pleasures—while the US Health and Human Services Secretary’s version has sparked confusion and ridicule.
Jon Hamm’s whole milk moment has become a meme icon. The original meme features Jon Hamm enjoying whole milk in a scene from the Apple TV series Mad Men. The image has ever since been used to show someone indulging in life’s simple joys or enjoying a moment of bliss.
Kennedy’s X (formerly Twitter) post regarding whole milk consumption garnered significant flak online. While one X user called him a “Freak”, another wrote, “You are an embarrassment to your family.” “Facts. What a clown”, yet another tweet read.
The internet’s reaction draws inspiration from RFK Jr.’s advocacy for whole milk consumption. The 71-year-old has emerged as a prominent supporter of whole milk and full-fat dairy products, challenging established US dietary guidelines that have long advocated low-fat or skim milk. He has characterized these recommendations as “antiquated”, thereby questioning the prevailing wisdom on dietary fat intake.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. calls it a health-promoting food unjustly suppressed by the FDA. He even touted its potential benefits, including allergy prevention, despite warnings from the scientific community about the risks of bacterial contamination.
In his role as HHS Secretary, RFK Jr. has criticized federal initiatives aimed at restricting the consumption of raw milk. He has actively promoted the dairy industry, demonstrating his support through public actions, including consuming raw milk within the White House premises.
