Raging bulls: why Maga is pushing cow products on to America | Trump administration

UThe Secretary of Health, Robert F Kennedy, says that beef tallow is a healthier alternative to seed oils (even if the American Heart Association does not agree). The defenders of raw milk currently criticize Kennedy, who supported them in the past, to alleviate the restrictions on the sale of their favorite dairy product nationwide. Meanwhile, cows have also infiltrated the skin care market that is always fashionable, with a beef tif present in moisturizers, lip balm, deodorant and personal lubricant.

Although all the evangelical beef evangelical or the aficionado of raw milk do not consider themselves republican, the connection of the cow with the “health” crusade of RFK is inevitable. It seems that the cows have won the position of Maga’s favorite animal.

It’s not exactly a secret that Trump loves cows. Last year, when a child called Fox & Friends to ask him what his favorite farm animal was. “I’m going to tell you what I like, I like cows, but if we go with Kamala, you will not have any cows,” he said, adding: “I don’t want to spoil this child’s day.” He made The Bizarre Talking Point part of his country strain speeches, saying to crowds in North Carolina and Nevada: “They want to do things like more cows”. Now that it is in office, the cows remain in the lead – or, at least, their by -products.

“Woo-woo has become Moooo,” wrote Yasmin Tayag of the Atlantic this week, in a test on the Americans “all-in” on “Wellness based on cow”.

“Regarding animal products, it seems [that Maga] Promotes the most cows the most, “said Mark Kern, professor of exercise and nutritional sciences at the State University of San Diego.” They do not seem to say the same things for chicken or turkey. “

Pigs could be a nearby finalist, because the Knundoux, another animal fat, was also used regularly by cooking until the beginning of the 20th century – a revised era Maga likes romanticized.

This does not hurt that the mania of cows follows the trend of tradwives which occupy the space of social media, praising the virtues of cooking, cleaning, education of children and property. If Trump describes cities such as DC, Los Angeles and New York as fiery bastions of anarchy, then cows represent something completely different: images of children with pregnancy cheeks totaling the buckets of milk or Sydney Sweeney in a prairie dress.

Of course, none of this is the fault of the cows. “Beef can be a very healthy food when consumed in moderation,” said Kern. “I see value, but that does not mean that we should eat it to the detriment of seed oils.” The obsession of the crowd of Maha (Make America Healthy) for the beef tif is based on a “erroneous perception” according to which it is less refined than seed oils, explained Kern. “You can’t just get a cow beef tallow,” he said. “You must also make this fat, which is a refining process.”

Although there is no known advantage of consumption of beef, certain restaurant channels such as Steak ‘N Shake and Sweetgreen have gone to use it as a result of RFK approval.

Bart Hutchins is the butterworth’s chef, a new French restaurant at DC populaire with the Cohort Maga. Last month, Hutchins told Axios that his kitchen goes through 500 beef bones per week serving a roasted marrow that is the “go-to” command by Steve Bannon. (Marco Rubio and Breitbart staff also love it.)

The bone marrow contains collagen, a protein that has long been a word with a fashion for beauty associated with the cosmetic advantages reported such as skin, hair and nails. It is a common ingredient in pills and powders that promise young skin, although dermatologists say that this has not been definitively proven by any study. This does not prevent the rich from loving him. “If you describe something” with collagen “, it is ready to move for a certain economy class,” said Hutchins.

Candice Ray, a 24 -year -old dietician student who shares her time between Canada and Vermont, loved the beef tallow before he was considered a symbol of Maha status. She coated it on his face every night for two years, the jurant transformed his rough and bumpy complexion into a clear and clean glow.

“It’s done wonders for me,” said Ray. “My skin looks healthier.” To be fair, Ray – an influencer who shares “non -toxic” advice to his follow -up of nearly 350,000 on Instagram – adheres to other medically questionable practices such as not washing your face.

You might assume that if you cover your face in a beef tif and go to bed without washing it, you will end up turning on a farmyard musk. Ray does not agree. “I think it smells a little earthy,” she says.

Ray is not exactly delighted that Maga took the cause of the advancement of the beef. “My choice to use it is not political,” she said. “But when I tell people that I use a beef tallow, they look at me in a way:” Oh, you are a natural girly. “”
