Now, at the outset I'll say - this is not a representation of all healthy vs unhealthy food BUT It does give us some insight into how easy it is to prepare/eat some different healthy and unhealthy meals
Firstly - cost. They actually all do reasonably similar - Big Mac meal comes in at $6 per person, pasta is cheapest at $4 per person, and steak comes in the highest at $8 per person
If you chose a cheaper cut of meat for the steak, you could probably get that down to the same price as the Big Mac But here comes the first enormous issue - which is cheaper on externalities???
What I mean here is things outside of the recipe - spices, cookware, stoves - as well as the TIME TAKEN TO COOK
And here, we can see one of the biggest hurdles to eating healthily. The steak does much, much worse (McDonald's cook time is, of course, the best here)pic.twitter.com/uRUCyDEXC6
another hurdle is the definition of how to eat healthily - having 4 plain quarter pounder patties is a perfectly healthy meal, around the same price or less than the meal you quoted and is complete meal for maintaining for excellent human health.http://myzerocarblife.jamesdhogan.com/wp/2016/10/update-call-stories/ …
There are people who find very-low carb diets effective, but generally that would be far more expensive. 1 pound of lean ground meat is ~$8 in Australia
true, although I was comparing it to the price of the meals you gave -- plain burger patties can be ordered for a fraction of the big mac price, four of them together wld be around same price as the meals (in a way, it's like fresh pemmican, prob is to modern tastes it's boring)
