Summary

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. introduced The Real Food Show, a cooking series aimed at teaching families affordable whole-food recipes and promoting nutrition-focused policy changes, and announced partnerships with chef Robert Irvine to modernize military and school feeding.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., identified in the transcript as Secretary of Health and Human Services, opened a program launch announcing "The Real Food Show," a series he said will teach families to prepare affordable, nutritious meals using whole-food ingredients. "America, it's time to eat real food," he said in opening remarks, framing the effort as part of a broader push to reduce chronic disease and restore family meal traditions.

Kennedy described the show's goals as practical and budget-minded, saying each recipe is family friendly and affordable. He noted the first episode features chef Andrew Gruhl preparing salmon cakes with a bean and arugula salad and said, "The entire meal costs only $4.91 a serving." He tied the series to policy work, saying it complements new dietary guidance and changes to food-regulatory standards. Kennedy invited viewers to watch the show on his YouTube channel and urged families to "pick up a spatula" and cook together.
