Really?

 Hi Everyone!

I would like to know what effin' world these people live in?  Oh, I forgot for a minute. The mega rich world. 

Today I speaking about Brook Rollins, who's net worth is about 15 million. The latest BS from her and RFK Jr is to flip the food chart and to tell the American people they can eat a meal for $3.00. 

I will get to this clarification in a minute. 

First in 1992 the USDA put out this food chart. Making a pyramid eating foods from the bottom up.

See a problem here? Another subject about the food industry in our country. I will tackle this one in a later post. Just a note though, the US government subsidizes farmers to grow certain crops to produce processed foods that "they" make sure are on our tables. 

Back to the rich who don't do their own shopping and certainly don't eat what everyday Americans eat and don't have a clue what food costs.

In 2005 another chart was introduced.

The same BS as the first one, only in a different style. 

Do they think we are stupid? 

Rollin's said and I quote, "A budget-friendly meal could include "a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla, and one other thing, would cost about $3.00."

She didn't specify what the one other thing would be. She said that the USDA ran over 1,000 simulations to come up with this meal. Really? Would she eat this? Never once did they think to include or even interview actual Americans. It's just another one of the "thing's" economic illiteracy that will hurt the American people trying to stretch a dollar to feed their families.

Because these numbers will cut the SNAP program even further and monies to Food Banks.  

The "thing" who has assembled the wealthiest cabinate in US history,

( you can see it here) has said that it's best to take economic advise from a rich person. This is moronic, since rich people don't know what real life is all about. The "thing" has said that American people should sacrifice and buy less stuff. Has to do with his tariffs, that affects food.

After the backlash Rollin's received over her obtuseness, she came back with this statement. Her regret was not emphasizing "robust" enough explaining she meant "LARGE pieces of chicken and broccoli, plus other items like a baked potato or bread to meet daily calorie need. She clarified that simulations showed meals meeting the guidelines could cost $15.46 per day, emphasizing the affordability of components like poultry, beans, potatoes and frozen vegetable." 

Sooooo she wants people to eat one meal a day? (snarky) 

Is there proof?

Based on reports from January 2026, there is

no publicly released, detailed data or raw documentation verifying the "1,000 simulations" mentioned by Rollins to prove her $3-per-meal claim. I think in her brain stumped head that was a good number to go with.

The Wall Street Journal did their own shopping in Boston and New Orleans and found they could achieve a "Rollin's" meal.

Notice how small this plate is? Personally I wouldn't eat this. 

Not served like this anyway.

Critics argue that the simulations likely use UNREALISTIC or highly specific, low-cost scenarios (e.g., buying single items rather than bulk) that do not reflect the reality for the average, time-crunched American consumer.
I don't know about you but in my stores I can't buy just one piece of chicken. 

A USDA spokesperson did not respond to direct questions regarding how these 1,000 simulations were actually conducted, according to a report from January 21, 2026. 

Independent price checks in lower-cost areas (e.g., Omaha, NE) suggest that while individual servings of these ingredients can mathematically equal roughly $0.50–$1.00, critics argue these "simulations" ignore the reality of bulk purchasing requirements and food accessibility. 

In my town prices are ridiculously high. I'm very frugal and on a tight food budget, I wish I could feed us for NE prices. I have to drive to Eugene to shop at Winco where the prices are at least half of the 2 grocery stores here. I guess what I'm trying to say is, this administration will say, (lie) do anything to hurt the American people and do it with a smile.

 

 Done ranting for the day
