This list looks wrong, you get way more than 1600 calories for $1 of pasta. 1kg of pasta is roughly 3,500 calories and shouldn't cost much more than a dollar. They must buy some very expensive brand to pay over $2 per kg, typically you can get it for less than $1 per kg...
Edit: Fixed calories per kg of dry pasta. Their value is still off though.
Edit again: I used Scandinavian prices which are typically much higher than American ones, but looking around it seems like people think it is normal for 1kg of pasta to cost $2? How can that be? Pasta is super cheap to produce and has years of shelf life, there is no reason at all why it should be expensive. It should be the cheapest wheat based product you can buy, certainly much cheaper than bread.
