Food Policy: The government's proposed meat-heavy diet may be financially unfeasible for a significant portion of the American population.

📊 New dietary guidelines from US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. emphasize meat, but a recent survey reveals many Americans find them too pricey! 🥩💸 Half of respondents cited affordability as a barrier, with grocery bills potentially rising 32% ($1,012/year).
