    “real” food is cheaper, but also has to be cooked and can’t sit on a shelf for 15 years and still be edible.

    This is why stuff like spam continues to be sold, it’s cheap and easy and lasts forever.

      When someone talks about cat food the real alternative is food like SPAM. And SPAM IS cheaper than cat food. Buying cat food to eat is an expensive enterprise, thus the original point is false.
