    I evaluate basically all my food with what I call “hotdog math”. my wife hates it. my local gas station sells hotdogs at 2/$1. the free toppings can push the calories count near 550, but I know nothing comes close, so I round down to 500. milk beats oatmilk on hotdog math, and carries a wider diversity of nutrients, to boot.

      Cow milk is usually only cheaper because of subsidies, otherwise it would be much more expensive.

        I don’t know how this can be verified, nor does it matter at the point of sale

      Your wife is right to hate it. It’s rather shallow and narrow-minded.

      That aside, if calories-to-price is your metric, are you growing your own food?
