economic theory states that there is no such thing a a free lunch. the reason for this is someone has to pay for that sandwich that you are about to eat for "free." someone produced and payed for the bread and meat in the sandwich, then it is bought by stores, then the place that made you the sandwich had to buy those meats, and now you get to eat that sandwich that cost you nothing but it cost other people money.

∙ 12y agoThere is no such thing as a free lunch because all actions, even if their strict accounting cost is zero, have an opportunity cost which is the highest-valued alternative foregone to take an action. For example, even if you had a 'free' banquet for lunch from a friend, you would have to forgo whatever else you could have used that time for to eat.

The expression "there is no such thing as a free lunch" is an expression coined by Milton Freedman dating from the 1970s, much later than Adam Smith, who lived in the 18th century.
