Grok generated a meal plan to fit RFK Jr's food pyramid, then explained why it's bad.

@arstechnica It's almost like no one involved with any of this has a f#¢₭¡₦₲ clue what they're doing.

@arstechnica maybe we should just listen to diatitions.

@arstechnica RFK J is a disgrace in many ways but the food pyramid looks mostly fine. The real issue thogh is you can't get real food in US except maybe if you are 10% PMC and the plutocrats.

I never thought I’d say this but in this case Grok is the adult in the room.

@arstechnica Personally, I think it's hilarious.

The new food pyramid doesn't even really make any sense; as I understand it (someone correct me if I'm wrong) it's designed to look aesthetically and visually "nice", instead of having item placement according to a proper most important to least important gradient, or eat more of this to eat less of this.

Everything in the pyramid is kind of scrambled.
