Reading this totally shamed me. I order McDonald’s delivery at an alarming rate because it’s “cheap,” but really…it is considerably less expensive to buy veggies and cook at home, especially in China. Sigh. Slowly, slowly I’ll start changing my ways, to avoid the poor house and a heart attack.  bradofarrell: jayparkinsonmd: 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.” This is just plain wrong.
