Ah, but how much did they spend on Pizza and beer? That's the real question?

WTF? The real question cannot be anything other than "How much did they spend on bacon and cheese?"

No. Read the snopes link. “Crab” means anything with crab in it. Even fake crab.

Yeahbut they should not have fake crab cakes either. No nutritional need.

Surimi (made from starch and pulverized white fish meat) is fairly inexpensive, and the most common way it's served in the US is as imitation crab. Personally I'm not fond of it, but some like it. If the criterion is exclusively 'nutritional need' then some sort of protein and starch slurry with vitamins added would do, no?
