    Y axis should be reversed. Since 90% of graphs are trying to find the sweet spot, would y the lowest-cost, highest protein be in the upper right? Unless I’m reading this correctly it’s the lower right, which is hardly /dataisbeautiful

    Course I’m shit at math and could be wrong…

      You might notice Pork Belly and Ribeye Steak belong way higher than the red dots representing them. In your proposition, I don’t think there exists an elegant way to represent those data points.

        If you did grams per USD, then the Ribeye would be 0.06, Pork Belly 0.10. The next worst would have been 0.25, so I think it would clearly show the relatively poor cost per protein.

        Of course, I don’t think anyone is deluding themselves to think that those foods are the ones to choose if you just want “some source of protein”.
