There’s new research conducted, in which the Netherlands is considered the best place in the world to have Best Healthy Foods followed by France and Switzerland. The rankings are based on Best Healthy Food’s affordability, food availability, food quality, and the rate of diet-related illnesses in each country. However, People in Chad are the worst off when it comes to their food consumption.
The United Kingdom made No 13, and The United States at 21 places on the table of the best countries to eat. The survey compiled by Oxfam saw researchers look at food consumption in 125 countries. The study considered, whether people have sufficient to eat, can afford to eat, and food available in good quality.
The Dutch country stays at the top place due to it having comparatively low food prices, low diabetes levels, and better nutritional diversity than its European rivals. Â Also in the top 12 countries were Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Australia, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, and Portugal.

In these countries diets are led by nutrient-poor cereals, roots, and root vegetables. The highest quality of food is available in Iceland and the lowest in Madagascar.
