The health secretary thought he was offering practical advice to people who can’t afford their groceries anymore.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy is addressing the affordability crisis by asking Americans to eat more liver and less steak.

“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 … it is gonna set you back,” the secretary said as he gave the keynote address at the “Eat Real Food” rally in Austin, Texas, on Thursday. “You can buy liver, or the cheaper cuts of steak that are very very affordable.”

Nothing’s wrong with eating liver. But to put the burden of the affordability crisis on the choices of everyday Americans rather than the administration he works for is woefully out of touch.

This is not out of touch, this is laughing directly in your face. Why are you still pretending they don't know what they're doing ? He's buying the porterhouse, with your money.

Tbf he seems like the kind of dude who prefers organ meat. Ideally off of roadkill

According to ChatGPT Health he likes his steaks lubed with yogurt and shoved up his rectum.

“Buy the really cheap cuts so I can buy the good stuff you can’t afford”.
