Calorie to calorie, yes it's cheaper.
Full to full? That's another story. An apple has, on average, 81 calories. A Big Mac without cheese has 576 calories. Imagine you had a choice: 1 Big Mac, or 7 apples. Which would fill you up more? I'd guess the apples.
1 Big Mac =
7 apples
6.6 bananas
7.5 heads of lettuce
9.6 pears
apple = $.56 per (at Safeway), x 7 = $3.92
I'm not sure how much a Big Mac is, but I think the point is clear. You can get more healthy food for cheaper.
