[quote=Anonymous]Its been stated a couple times here that Doritos are less expensive than apples. I don't think that's true! A bag of doritos is probably around $3.50 to $4.50. Apples can be purchased for under $1 per pound. There are at least 2 apples in a pound. So for about $4, you could buy one bag of Doritos or about 8 apples. I often find that the idea that processed foods are cheaper than whole foods to be bunk. Mark Bittman has this to say: "THE “fact” that junk food is cheaper than real food has become a reflexive part of how we explain why so many Americans are overweight, particularly those with lower incomes. I frequently read confident statements like, “when a bag of chips is cheaper than a head of broccoli ...” or “it’s more affordable to feed a family of four at McDonald’s than to cook a healthy meal for them at home.”" http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/25/opinion/sunday/is-junk-food-really-cheaper.html[/quote]
