# Rubio jokes keto diet could make him order Paraguay bombing 2026-08-12T21:41:04+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets US Secretary of State Marco Rubio joked that a strict keto diet might have made him tell President Donald Trump to bomb Paraguay. Speaking on the Katie Miller podcast, Rubio said cutting sugar and carbohydrates during a diet he tried four or five years ago caused a “near-psychotic” withdrawal for the first 72 hours. He clarified that he was not opposing the diet and said it could suit some people. Rubio also rejected following Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s reported diet of red meat and fermented vegetables. His wife, Jeanette, said he prefers Pop-Tarts, sweets and fast food. Rubio added that there is no typical day at the State Department, with foreign leader calls sometimes beginning at 7 am and crises disrupting schedules. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - economictimes.indiatimes.com Tags: Donald Trump, foreign policy, keto diet, Marco Rubio, US State Department Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/rubio-jokes-he-would-ask-trump-to-bomb-paraguay-on-keto-diet/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
