The federal government now has a cooking show. Whether that changes what Americans put on their plates is a question the research literature has actually tried to answer, and the answer is more complicated than either supporters or critics of the idea tend to allow.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced The Real Food Show on July 30 at Fort Drum, New York, describing it as a series that translates the updated Dietary Guidelines for Americans into meals people can make at home. The premiere episode features chef Andrew Gruel preparing salmon cakes and a salad.
