No. I never said I actually made that complaint, because I don't. I was just pointing out that contrary to resource_waste's assertion above, fast food can in fact be less expensive than grocery food. It is not a statement of error so egregious as to be worth writing off the content of an entire media organization.

It's a statement, that even if you "well acshually" it hard enough to make it work, is still useless.

Can a particular fast food meal be cheaper than some similar grocery store meal? Yes.

Is a fast food meal cheaper that the maximum cheapness calories per dollar than everything you can get at a grocery store? No.

Will people who hear it hear the second or the first?

Definitely unambiguously the first unless they're the ones trying to "well acshually" it. At the point of the second you're not even talking about burgers - the maximum cheapness calories per dollar is a five gallon jug of corn syrup or something.

Have you literally ever been shopping before that wasn't a Trader Joes or a Whole foods?

It boggles my mind anyone can think that fast food is cheaper than grocery store food for the dollar. Its basically on the level of flat earthers to me.
