RFK Jr. Launches Affordable Cooking Show to Promote Whole Foods
Robert F Kennedy Jr, the U.S. health secretary, started a cooking show on YouTube called "The Real Food Show."
He cooks with chefs like Andrew Gruel using cheap, healthy ingredients like salmon and beans.
The show is part of his plan to make America eat better and cheaper.
He talks about how to avoid processed foods and make simple dressings at home.
Kennedy also says he follows a carnivore diet, which means he mostly eats meat.
Some people think his new food pyramid that favors red meat is good, while others worry about too much meat.
President Trump joked about Kennedy’s past road‑kill stories.
The show aims to help families cook tasty meals without spending a lot of money.
Robert F Kennedy Jr, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary, launched a YouTube cooking series called "The Real Food Show" to promote affordable, nutritious meals.
The show features Kennedy cooking with chefs, such as Andrew Gruel, using inexpensive ingredients like salmon, beans, and greens, and emphasizes whole foods over processed options.
Kennedy ties the series to his "Make America Healthy Again" agenda, which includes a revised food pyramid that prioritizes red meat, dairy, and healthy fats while de-emphasizing grains.
The program highlights rising meat prices and suggests alternatives like salmon, while also offering tips to cut costs, such as homemade dressings and knife sharpening lessons.
Kennedy’s personal diet—he says he follows a carnivore diet—has drawn media attention, and his past road‑kill anecdotes have been referenced by President Trump in a light‑hearted remark.
