Externet Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) Hi. Some supermarket gymnastics... That $16 per pound fancy 'deli' cheese, or the plain $3 per pound simple Monterey jack ? The $9.99 NY steak or the rump something meat at $ 1.25 per pound... The $0.99 catfish or the fancy $ 8.99 yellowtail... The plain 99cent bread against the same size $3.50 weird-named loaf ? Are we selecting nutritional value or pleasures? What is the nutritional difference among similar foods, is it worth the absurd $ ? Miguel Edited July 4, 2008 by Externet .

Mr Skeptic Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 It's about taste, not necessarily nutrition. Though in general, I think nutrition and taste would have much overlap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNow Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Manufacturing, materials, and transportation costs also play a factor before demand even gets factored in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangloss Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Interesting question, though. Are we saying there's never any additional nutritional value from more expensive selections? I'm sure we could find some exceptions to that, but could it be right as a general rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
