RFK Jr. urges poor Americans to buy liver or other "cheap cuts" as beef prices rise
While giving a speech during an event hosted by the hosted by MAHA Action PAC on Friday, Kennedy argued that there was a ton of "good food" in stores, such as "cheap cuts" of "very inexpensive" meat.
"If you buy, you know, a porterhouse steak, it's going to, it is going to take you back. You can buy liver or the cheaper cuts of steak that are very, very affordable," the secretary added.
Kennedy's comments come as the cost of beef has been on a steady rise throughout President Donald Trump's first year back in office.

Hmmm... Are people that ignorant to think that as soon as Trump is in the WH everything will automatically go right back down to where it was when he left? Must be living in lala land to believe such an absurd scenarios...
According to AI:
Cost of living significantly increased during the Biden administration, with cumulative inflation exceeding 17% and families paying roughly $11,000 to $15,000 more annually for goods, rent, and energy compared to early 2021. In contrast, early data from the second Trump term indicates a reversal, with prices for staples like eggs and butter, along with mortgage rates, starting to decline.
Key Cost of Living Comparisons
- Inflation & Spending: Under Biden, inflation peaked at 9.0% in June 2022. Households faced a $1,261 monthly increase in expenses for necessities by late 2023.
- Goods & Services: During the Biden term, costs rose significantly, including a 19.2% increase in motor vehicle insurance, 10.6% for steak, and 7.2% for rent.
Energy & Fuel: By June 2023, energy prices were up 28.5% and gas prices over 34% higher than when Biden took office.
Policy Impact: Critics argue "Bidenomics" caused the high prices, while proponents point to a strong post-pandemic recovery. Conversely, early reports from the second Trump term (late 2025) suggest falling prices for necessities and a decrease in mortgage rates.
Key Economic Metrics
- Deficit Spending: Average deficits under Biden were roughly $1.5 trillion, compared to $750 billion under Trump (excluding 2020-2021 COVID years).
- Job Growth: Biden saw a high average monthly job growth of 269,000 (including covid recovery - country opening up), compared to 180,000 under Trump.
- Wage Growth: Real wages fell 3.9% under Biden, while early, preliminary data indicates potential growth in real wages during the second Trump term.
