if you're pricing calories, then yeah, but considering how much unhealthy eating is excess calories then i'm not really sure what we're talking about. a serving of apple will make you feel fuller than a serving of wonderbread. a serving of broccoli will make you feel fuller than a can of soda, at least after you burp. the fact that you've consumed fewer calories in the process is actually the main health benefit.
i grocery shop for a family of four. my experience is i can buy as much as i like in the produce section without having much of an effect on the bill, but i have to be careful with meat. i used to be more fretful with fresh fruit, thinking it was really expensive, but the more of that i buy the less of the more expensive stuff i need, and no one's going hungry around here.
you're right that bread and the like are cheap, but there's only so much of that a person can eat. when you're talking about the cost of food, that's a fact that needs to be accounted for.
