Reply #162: in the reality based world it does

[pitohui]

as the other poster points out, we just discussed this in another thread

the people who claimed you could eat healthy food just as cheaply appeared never to have gone shopping or cooking in the real world and compared it dollar for dollar and penny for penny to such items available to the dirt poor as ramen noodles (transfats all the time for 10 cents or 20 cents a meal) or the 99 cent meals at wendy's, rally's, and burger king (99 cents obviously)

it costs me more than 10 cents to heat up my stove and more than 99 cents to put the food on it

there was a day when cooking and eating healthy food was cheaper, but we're only showing our age when we continue to live in the 70s

today's realities are the prices and foods we must eat today
