Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently shared his plans to improve the country’s health by incentivizing companies to move away from processed foods, praising Steak ‘n Shake for cooking their fries in beef tallow instead of unhealthy seed oils. This move has gained the support of conservative figures such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green and has led the company to publicly align itself with Kennedy and other notable conservatives. While Steak ‘n Shake has shifted its social media presence to focus on Trump-adjacent themes, it has not explicitly endorsed Trump himself. As the company faces financial challenges, it is taking a bold step in embracing Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” agenda, which includes concerns about seed oils and other health-related issues. However, health experts caution against demonizing seed oils, noting that saturated fats can be harmful to heart health. Despite some initial controversy and challenges, Steak ‘n Shake’s CEO has been working to transition to beef tallow for some time, and the company remains committed to removing seed oils from their food completely. The sudden shift in social media presence has also led to partnerships with companies like Tesla and discussions about building charging stations at Steak ‘n Shake locations. Overall, Steak ‘n Shake’s embrace of Kennedy’s health agenda represents a significant change for an established brand and underscores a growing trend of companies aligning with political movements for various reasons.
