It doesn't seem like it would apply for all instances and combinations of food. For me, I've had a $90 porterhouse, which was truly delicious, and was indeed worth more (not less) than if I had gotten one $45 alternative cut to eat then and a second one to take home. But extrapolated out for other food / time scales / diet preferences, buying two 5 pound packs of bacon for $40 gives me a lot more utility than $80 worth of pepperoni bits which are quite a bit more expensive per pound but very convenient as a ready-to-eat snack.
