A Piece Of What?!? Critics Mock Trump Official's Truly 'Dystopian' New Meal Deal
HuffPost
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins claimed it was the result of "over a thousand simulations."
One of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet members is receiving the wrong kind of attention on social media for suggesting a supposedly affordable meal that seemed to be missing most of the meal.
During a NewsNation interview on Wednesday, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins claimed food prices were falling.
According to the latest Consumer Price Index, the cost of groceries jumped by 0.7% in December. Certain foods increased more than others. Beef, which has been moved to near the top of the food pyramid in the new dietary guidelines Rollins unveiled this month, rose by 1% for the month and 16.4% from a year ago.
Asked about that reality, Rollins ― who last month bragged about cutting food aid to low-income Americans ― suggested an affordable meal option that met her new guidelines.
“We’ve run over a thousand simulations,” she said. “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.”
