The Netherlands Is The Country With The Most Plentiful, Healthy Food

The Netherlands has been named as the country with the most nutritious, plentiful and healthy food, while the United States and Japan failed to make it into the top 20, a new ranking released by Oxfam on Tuesday showed. Chad came in last on the list of 125 nations, behind Ethiopia and Angola, in the food index from the international relief and development organization.

Deborah Hardoon, a senior researcher at Oxfam who compiled the results, said: 'The Netherlands have created a good market that enables people to get enough to eat. Prices are relatively low and stable and the type of food people are eating is balanced.'

Interesting...I would have thought Japan or one of the Mediterranean countries.
