A pound of steak does not have the same level of water content or nutritional value of a pound of apricot, so that comparison is not meaningful. Cost per pound

A pound of steak does not have the same level of water content or nutritional value of a pound of apricot, so that comparison is not meaningful. Cost per pound of each nutrient is a relevant comparison.
Dried apricots cost $5-$10/lb. Does that make them overpriced compared to fresh apricots?
- jballanc 13y agoIt was not my goal to compare apricots to steak, but rather the price of apricots here to the price in the US contrasted with the price of meat here to the price in the US. The US has optimized the production of meat such that the price is artificially low, but at what total cost?
