Brian,
I think your food analogy is flawed. Fusion is not as speculative as you make it sound (we can be reasonably certain that e.g. ITER will produce net energy), and considering the importance of energy technology, the amount spent on advancing fusion is very small. It's more like you have 1000$, are you going to buy a twinkie or M&ms, and spend the rest on whatever.
