USDA Secretary claims a healthy meal costs $3, sparking backlash amid rising food prices.
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said a healthy meal of chicken, broccoli, a corn tortilla, and one other item can cost about $3, based on over 1,000 USDA simulations, claiming food prices are generally declining despite a 0.7% monthly increase in December.
She attributed the rise to holiday spending and emphasized that new dietary guidelines promoting whole foods and protein are affordable.
The comments drew widespread criticism, with data showing food prices rose 3.1% year-over-year, and staples like beef, coffee, and produce increased significantly.
Critics, including lawmakers and public figures, called the suggestion out of touch with reality, highlighting ongoing inflation and economic pressures faced by American families.
