MeroJageer,

I think the purpose of the article (and the video) was more to compare 'healthy eating' between nations than to compare the money spent between nations. I think the point of the article and video was to show that just because you are in a richer nation does not automatically mean that you are eating a healthier diet. I thought the article was insightful in that way.

Nepal is a very poor country if you compare it to the United States. But, in terms of quality, as long as people get enough to eat, it turns out that the Nepali diet is proportionately healthier than many rich nations.

Having said that, I do agree with the point you made about market price analysis.
