If you rapidly scroll through the images of different foods on the realfood.gov website, they all turn into a picture of RFK Jr.

A movie showing the effect of rapidly scrolling through the food images on the realfood.gov website. As the scroll picks up speed, the images are replaced by a weird photo of RFK Jr.

This is just so weird, I assumed it had to be a misconfigured plugin accidentally grabbing a graphics asset that was meant for some other part of the site.

But the image of RFK Jr doesn't show up anywhere else.

And then you inspect the code, and see that it is an intentional easter egg added by the folks who made the site!

A screenshot of the "inspect website" panel in safari after rapidly scrolling through the foods. Now some of entries have tags like 

data-easter-egg="rfk-jr"

and point to the rfk jr graphic.
