“RFK Jr - Let Them Eat Liver”

Robert Kennedy Jr proves once again how out of touch the wealthy elites are with everyday Americans. On Feb 27, 2026, RFK Jr suggested Americans buy liver and cheap cuts of meat instead of steak as the prices of red meat surge in the United States.

“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” - Robert F. Kennedy Jr

Poverty Itself Makes You Sick

It is no secret that poverty is already a major factor in poor health outcomes. According to an MIT study, poor Americans die, 10 - 14 years sooner than the top 1% of rich, wealthy Americans. A fact that seems to have slipped RFK Jr’s mind (maybe the worm ate it), as he tells poor Americans to eat even lower quality food products, to offset the damage done to the economy by the president.

The Stress Of Poverty

One fact that is not talked about enough by our politicians, is how the stress of being poor effects the health of poor Americans. Maybe our Senators and Representatives are just blissfully unaware (as they are on many matters), but the impact of stress cannot be overlooked.

Poor Americans live under the constant stress of having little monetary resources. Which creates a non stop battle of choosing which need takes priority.

• Rent
• Health Insurance
• Utilities
• Groceries
• laundry list of other basic needs.

Poverty creates constant physiological stress. Chronic activation of the stress response (HPA axis) keeps cortisol levels elevated, which over time increases risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, depression, digestive problems, immune suppression, weight gain, and memory problems (Mayo Clinic; Columbia University research).

It is a never ending cycle for America’s poor, the stress of not having enough causes them to eventually become sick, then they are even more stressed as they have sickness. That sickness leads to time off from work, which then in turn leads to even more poverty, more stress and even more sickness.

The Circle of stress never ends.

MAHA Hypocrisy

RFk Jr flipped the food pyramid, placing red meat at the top of the list, then when the reality of cost sets in, he tells people to eat liver. Not only that he tells Americans to eat cheap cuts of red meat, is he unaware that the price for ground beef is hitting record prices?

MAHA, or Make America Healthy Again as they like to call it. is nothing more than a slogan not based in reality. In fact MAHA will actually make Americans sicker. Kennedy has been pushing increased saturated fat intake and

“ending the war on saturated fats” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. contrary to mainstream nutritional science.

Liver is high in saturated fat and cholesterol which The American Heart Association recommends limiting both for heart health, but this does not seem to sway the head of HHS.

Final Thoughts

Kennedy is a wealthy elite, who does not have to worry about the cost of high quality foods. He also does not have to worry about the cost of healthcare on top of it all. Low income and poor Americans are already at a disadvantage and lead shorter lifespans due to poor quality food and health. Kennedy’s proposal to eat foods high in saturated fats, will only serve to increase this problem.
