Food quality listing

Believe it or not, in terms of food systems, the US ranks 20th in the world according to the advocacy group Oxfam.  They rank food systems according to availability of quality food, affordability, cost and the eating habits of the countries citizens.   As you might expect, the fourth variable is what brings down the US ranking.  Despite the abundance and cheapness of the food available, many Americans make extremely bad choices.  Obesity and diseases associated with excessive calorie consumption rank us below most European countries and some in Asia.
