Maximizing calorie per dollar almost certainly means boxes of pasta, jars of peanut butter, and bags of rice and beans. I think comfort, habit, and convenience have more to do with it than calories.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoI think it's both! I agree, it's unlikely many people have literally thought through "what single food will best maximize my calorie intake?" However, it's relatively intuitive that spending some amount of money on cereal will get you further than spending the same amount on Apples. And so they buy cereal.
