Special Presentation: What Not To Eat: Grocery Shopping and Cooking in 2026
Our tariffs jacked up food prices, our SNAP cuts emptied working families’ grocery carts, and our DOGE cuts gutted the agencies that monitor and respond to threats in our food supply.
This presentation will show you what you can eat in 2026 without breaking the budget or ending up hospitalized.
Panelists
Cindy Hyde-Smith:
While beef prices soared and Mississippi families felt the squeeze, Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith’s response wasn’t to work on solutions that would decrease food costs — it was to shrug off her constituents’ concerns, telling them they “have so many proteins to choose from.”
RFK Jr.
Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. also has his own beef price solution: liver. In response to the high cost of beef, RFK Jr. just told people they can eat liver or cheaper cuts of steak.
We know what you’re thinking: why didn’t you think of the liver thing? Don’t worry, neither did we. That’s exactly why you need this panel — to learn how to talk about grocery prices in a totally normal way like RFK.
Brooke Rollins:
Trump’s Agriculture Secretary, Brooke Rollins, has just the trick for families struggling to put food on the table. Her formula for a family meal: “It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, you know, corn tortilla, and one other thing.”
Join us as Rollins’ demonstrates how to build a single chicken and broccoli floret taco, and tries to pass it off as dinner.
Ken Paxton
Ken Paxton supported DOGE cuts, calling it “incredible work” and thanking Elon Musk and Donald Trump for their efforts.
Unfortunately for Ken, DOGE did cut funding for the organization responsible for monitoring and responding to the New World Screwworm and preventing its spread. Shockingly, this summer, the once eradicated parasite was found in Texas. Now, Texas’ cattle industry faces a billion-dollar disaster.
