The US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy, claims that beef tallow is a healthier alternative to seed oils (even though the American Heart Association disagrees). Raw milk advocates are currently criticizing Kennedy, who has supported them in the past, to ease restrictions on the sale of their preferred dairy product nationwide. Meanwhile, cows have also infiltrated the ever trendy skincare market, with beef tallow present in moisturizers, lip balm, deodorant and personal lubricant.
Though not every beef tallow evangelist or raw milk aficionado might consider themselves Republican, cows’ connection to RFK’s “health” crusade is unavoidable. It appears that cows have won the position of Maga’s favorite animal.
