Factcheck: In his February 2026 “Eat Real Food” speech in Austin, RFK Jr. argued that eating healthy doesn’t have to cost a fortune. He pointed to liver and cheaper cuts of meat that often go unsold, saying people could choose these instead of expensive steaks like porterhouse and still get good nutrition. He also called for better food in schools and the military, with less processed junk and more real food to help tackle chronic disease.

His point was simple: you don’t have to spend a fortune to eat well. Choose affordable, nutritious foods instead of filling your diet with ultra-processed junk.

The unedited version:

RFK Jr.’s keynote starts at 32:24. The liver and cheaper cuts comments are around the 45-minute mark in context of nutrient-dense real food being affordable.
