For Interstellar, Nolan Planted 500 Acres of Corn;
- wryoak 3y agoUsing a quickly googled value of 12.3 million calories per acre of corn, and an “average” daily caloric intake of 2000, and an assumed price of $10 per meal, 3x per day, instead of selling the corn for 160k, he could have eaten for 3 million days (which I will truncate to a more realistic 50 years) saving himself 500k in food costs over the course of his life. The guy can make an entertaining film but makes foolish financial choices.
