The US government has launched a new website, RealFood.gov, which was announced during a Super Bowl commercial. The site provides protein-focused dietary guidelines and initially displayed a message saying, "Use Grok to get real answers." When interviewed by NextGov, a White House official confirmed that the underlying chatbot is Elon Musk's Grok and described it as an "approved government tool." Subsequently, the message on the site was changed to the more general phrase "Use AI."

When 404 Media tested the bot, it returned responses recommending "a peeled, medium-sized cucumber" and "small zucchini" when asked about safe foods for rectal insertion. Furthermore, in response to a humorous prompt regarding an "assitarian" (a nutritionist specializing in rectal intake), the bot listed "Top Assitarian Staples" such as bananas and carrots, and even suggested the use of condoms and retrieval strings.
In testing by Wired, Grok recommended a protein intake of 0.8g per kg of body weight—the standard of the Institute of Medicine—and advised minimizing red and processed meats. This result differs from the protein-centric stance promoted by the HHS. The department emphasizes the intake of red meat and full-fat dairy products, providing nutritional advice that diverges from scientific consensus.
