The price of cabbage really doesn&#x27;t matter.  Cabbage is healthy, but you really cannot eat enough cabbage to live on. You&#x27;d have to eat almost 17 pounds of cabbage to meet the caloric needs of a 2000 calorie diet.  A pound of cabbage in a day would probably be on the upper limit of what I could stomach, even after cooking it down.  (Plus it stops being cheap anyway when you look at the price per calorie.)<p>&quot;Eating healthy&quot; does not mean &quot;eating insufficient calories&quot;.  You have to actually get enough calories to live.  Once you start adding other healthy foods that get the calorie count to the right level, the cost starts to go up.<p>There have been a number of studies that show it&#x27;s cheaper to eat unhealthy food.  You can eat healthy pretty cheaply, but you can eat unhealthy even cheaper.  This is doubly true if you factor in cooking time as having some cost
