RFK Jr. faces backlash over inflated meal cost claims on CNN

In the U.S., Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced backlash after CNN fact-checked his claim that a meal for four cost $19.64. CNN's Tom Foreman found the actual cost to be $70.54, leading Kennedy to accuse the network of miscalculating. His defense of using "standard recipe costing" was challenged, as critics noted grocery stores do not sell ingredients in such a manner. Other media outlets confirmed CNN's findings, further questioning Kennedy's credibility.
