Donald Trump, who was 6 feet 3 inches tall, weighed more than 100 kg. During his previous term, White House doctors considered him to be in excellent health. However, Trump likes junk food more than other presidents. In fact, contrary to White House food protocol, he often bought snacks at large food outlets outside, while food for presidents is prepared in the building’s kitchen and must undergo strict inspection.
When Trump’s doctor made a big statement
Dr. Ronny Jackson, who was a doctor in the White House, had admitted that to correct Trump’s eating habit, he adds vegetables to his food. In an interview with the New York Times, Jackson says of Trump that he rarely exercises. Then we started working on his diet. We started eliminating ice cream from his diet. I also started adding vegetables to mashed potatoes.
Before living with Trump in his previous term, Jackson had made changes to the diets of three other presidents to keep them in shape. But his speech about Trump remained in the media for a long time in 2018. He had said that Trump’s genes are very good. And if they eat a healthy diet for the next 20 years, they can live two hundred years.
They eat a lot of calories
Living that long may be a bit of a stretch, but Trump’s eating habits immediately came into discussion. They usually skip breakfast, but eat lunch and chat in between. Their dinner is the heaviest and full of calories. This includes things like burgers, fries, pizza, and Diet Coke. People associated with it claim that it consumes between two thousand five hundred and three thousand calories in a single dose.
Reduce homemade food for fear of germs
Trump was known to be a germaphobe. He’s such a germophobe that he never eats an open package. Even in the White House kitchen, people avoided eating out of fear, when the truth is that there the food is prepared with great care and then goes through testing. Even after this, he continued to prefer eating packaged foods. This Trump phobia has been explained in detail in the book titled Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House. Trump is convinced that no one keeps things clean better than fast food chains, which is why he continues to prefer junk food to homemade food.
He also likes to drink coke
Trump doesn’t like alcohol, but he was known for his love of Diet Coke. Fortune magazine had reported that during his first term, there was a special button in Trump’s office that was only for ordering cocaine. He drank a dozen cokes a day.
How does the White House kitchen work?
Now let’s talk about the White House kitchen, there is not one but three cooks, whose work is divided separately. There is a main kitchen, a pastry kitchen and the third family kitchen. Next to this there is also a pantry, where raw materials and vegetables are stored. We tell you here that there is also a huge garden in the White House. All vegetables are grown here, unless many guests come from outside.
You have to pay for the food yourself.
According to Business Insider, more than two thousand pounds of vegetables are grown here annually. The interesting thing here is that the First Family, that is, the President and his family, have to pay for the food separately. There is also a separate cost for private guests. These expenses are usually covered by the president’s salary. Many presidents have raised questions about it or even spoken jokingly.
some kind of problem happened
The food is cooked for the president in the family kitchen, but after Trump’s arrival it was customized. He also ordered things to eat at the pastry shop. But the biggest problem was in the safety regulations. In fact, every product used in this kitchen is rigorously controlled by the Secret Service itself. Even the humble employee who works there is subject to background and health checks. If any deficiencies are found, you are not hired. All this so that the most important person in the country remains safe.
For security reasons, there was a lot of rigor when ordering food from outside the White House. But Trump refused to accept it. They would order food from fast food chains such as McDonald’s, Wendy’s and KFC. When food was ordered from outside, it took more time and resources to get it safely to the White House and have it analyzed. But security had to be guaranteed. Therefore, resources were increased even further. In addition, scanning and sampling of food coming from abroad began. After this, a security seal was put on the food, only then could it reach Trump.
How different is Biden’s diet from Trump’s?
There is no rule for how many calories the president should consume in a day. But since his health is a big problem, there has always been a medical team around Trump. Whether you take current President Joe Biden or former President Obama, their diet has always been healthy. Biden likes home-cooked food. Here too he continued to emphasize fresh fruits, vegetables and proteins. As for calorie intake, he was seen eating ice cream on select occasions.
