"I think the question you're asking, and it's a really important one, is while we're asking Americans to reconsider what they're eating, are we actually asking Americans - especially those who are living on the margins - are we asking them to spend more on their diet? And the answer to that is 'no."
"We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla, and one other thing. And so there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."
"For 4 years straight Republicans, MAGA and the MSM bitched and moaned about inflation & the price of groceries etc. Now they're telling you to, 'only buy your daughter one doll,' 'just eat hamburger helper,' 'just eat turkey instead of steak,' & now this BS. Fucking hypocrites."
The Trump Administration released updated dietary guidance promoting "REAL FOOD" at the center of health. The guidance presents simulations indicating a meal composed of a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla, and one additional item can cost about $3 and could save the average American consumer money. The guidance emphasizes avoiding increased costs for people living on the margins. The guidance and its cost estimates prompted online criticism accusing political hypocrisy given prior complaints about grocery inflation and elicited social media debate over affordability and recommended substitutions.
