My original statement, that started this tangent was "healthy food is cheaper than fast food". Maybe I should correct that to this:
"Budgeting properly, healthy food can be substantially cheaper than any fast food as far as keeping you alive, full, and healthy." I believe this to be true, and I'm still willing to demonstrate it if you're willing to do the same. Post a day's worth of fast food and I'll post a day's worth of healthy, balanced food and we'll see who comes out with a lower price tag.

That's a better statement, but there's still some challenges to that because of distribution costs, the snack food guy has much larger route than the produce guy
I won't have time to collect information in the next day or so, but I'll try to.
