"This is true all over the country, there's a lot of good food in grocery stores that goes to waste. Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. If you buy a porterhouse steak, or a steak, it is going to set you back. But you can buy liver or the cheaper cuts of steak that are very affordable."
"Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive, according to Kennedy's statement. You can buy liver or the cheap cuts. This suggestion came as grocery prices have been steadily rising over the last year, according to a Wall Street Journal report published in January."
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced at an "Eat Real Food" rally in Austin that good food is not expensive, recommending Americans purchase affordable meat cuts like liver instead of costly steaks. Kennedy stated that grocery stores contain abundant inexpensive food options, particularly cheaper cuts of meat. The suggestion faced swift online backlash, with critics noting Kennedy's wealth insulates him from affordability struggles. The food affordability crisis has intensified due to rising grocery prices, tariffs, and inflation. Democratic lawmakers mocked the recommendation, with comparisons to "let them eat cake," highlighting the disconnect between Kennedy's advice and the economic realities facing average Americans struggling with food costs.
