Looking at my nearest grocery store:
Ground beef: $6/pound
Liver: $8/pound
How is this supposed to help?

Both are free if you find something dead on the side of the road.
Both are free if you're a nepo baby who never had to work a day in their life.
If taking your friends on trips for which you were dangerously unprepared and then stealing all their drugs isn't work, then what would you call it???
"How much could a liver cost??"
Almost anything dead can be eaten if you cook it long enough.
Never mind how long it's been dead , out in the summer heat.
Just boil it for a really long time. Like a day.
But the brain worms are where you get all the flavor.
Only if the thing you find dead on the side of the road is a cow...
Pedantry wins the day
Ground ~~beef~~ meat
Liver regrows.
He’s talking about eating your own bro.
‘Let them eat liver.’
I’m so sick of this disgusting Boomer-coded ‘suck it up kids’ type of patronizing bullshit coming from these people.
How about actually improving the lives of those you represent (your actual fucking job) instead?
It's less about him being born between certain years and more about being part of the Epstein class. Not all boomers have that many resources, either.
His advice to opt for low-grade meat, however...I'm not sure if that's a consequence of his delusions about needing to have animal flesh in the diet or his complete lack of care for others. Possibly both.
If he had instead suggested eating less meat and subbing in things like rice and beans (especially buying and storing dried beans) to help stretch the budget, it would have at least been a bit more fact-based, especially when you consider the long-term costs of eating harmful things like meat.
Subbing in shitty cuts of meat, especially questionable things like liver....JFC. I realize even telling others to eat rice and beans is going to come off as uncaring and out of touch for someone as rich as himself, even if it's true, but telling them to eat crappy meat? Just....wow.
he probably eats liver as part of his carnivore diet, and it was the first thing that occurred to him
Oh yeah, I imagine.
How about actually improving the lives of those you represent (your actual fucking job) instead?
Oh, that's definitely not his job.
Yeah. A job is what someone pays you to do. And there's people paying him a lot more than we're paying him.
I suggest we eat billionaires to gain their powers
Klingons rip the heart out from their fallen enemies and eat their hearts.
Billionaires have livers...
I think... Maybe.... Wait..... Wait ... Wait .... I'm getting an idea ... Hold on.... I GOT IT.
we feed billionaires their own livers!
I can recommend a good side and wine pairing...
They steal them from the young and healthy
"We're going to keep raising the prices of essentials, it's on you to make adjustments. Don't be lazy and entitled."
Back when Americans still were almost 100% operating under the stupid protein myths (these days, I think it is a least a little better, but there has been a huge rise in marketing protein to people as if they aren't getting enough, lol, so I really don't know if people have a better grasp of nutrition now or not, even with easily-available information sources now online. Back then, spotting a vegetarian in the wild outside of major metro areas, anyway, was like spotting Bigfoot and the very concept of not eating meat was something that made most people's brains short out.) and virtually everyone thought you needed a big portion of some meat on your plate... my boomer parents were trying to scrape by, they would have liver about once or twice a week to make ends meet.
It wasn't until a bit later when they read a bit more about vegetarianism that they realized they could easily sub in things like beans/rice to round out meals and not only was it far safer and a lot less disgusting, it was cheaper and had an incredibly long shelf life. And they didn't have to worry about the family being malnourished or anything.
fuck RFK, but if you haven't tried it, liver is good, at least try pate. that being said, fuck RFK and his brain worm ideas
Fried chicken livers 😋
goose liver Kebab, had one more than a decade ago, and I still miss it
Chicken liver is the best. I don't understand why my wife and kids don't like it.
There is no brain worm. That was made up by RFK Jr in court with no medical evidence provided to justify giving no alimony to his ex wife. He them blackballed her in their small community so she had to beg. She eventually committed suicide.
He then stole her body from here family to bury it on the Kennedy plot.
He doesn't even realize the choice isn't steak or liver, it's store brand pink slime hamburgers or nothing.
I would suggest that people eat RFK instead.
Bro, he gonna be like Oogie Boogie when he dies and the bugs are gonna all scatter. I ain't eating that.
With that chance of parasites? No thanks.
Yuk. Tastes like evil.
With notes of cocaine and heroin. Pairs nicely with sewer water.
At the very least, he could be used as fertilizer.
No can do. Some parasites survive death of the host and can lead to transmission after death.
A.K.A. the perfect way to acquire Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
Polyphemus treatment
Doesn't that sound Soviet.
I prefer cake
Not roadkill? Wow. He's almost sounding reasonable. Almost.
A chicken liver in every pot.
They truly hate the working class with a burning passion
RFK Jr can take a liver and shove it!
Thinking of Jan de Wit..
