Healthiest place to eat in - Best & Worst (Oxfam report)

A new report was published recently by Oxfam, the healthiest places to eat, and of course, the worst places too. I managed to grab raw data excel from Oxfam, which has the complete list of all the ratings for most countries in the world. From the chart, Netherlands ranked the highest, and it is the healthiest nation in terms of food, where France and Switzerland are both tied 2nd place. Countries such as Denmark, Sweden, Austria and Beigium are 3rd in the chart. Meanwhile, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Luxembourg and Australia have 3rd highest points scored. 

If you analyse the top rankings in the chart, it is obvious that the healthiest nations primarily from Europe with exception of Australia. United States couldn't even make it into the top 15 in the list. As for Malaysia, it is ranked 44th place, reasonably poor, from my point of view. For ASIA region, the healthiest place to eat in is Japan, ranked 21st. If you see the 3rd screenshot chart below, Malaysia, scored the worst in rankings of Diabetes and Obesity. Malaysia claimed its' Hall of Shame for the fattest nation in South East Asia, and currently facing diabetes epidemic as health status is becoming from bad to a record-high in history of this country.  

Anyone with common sense will know that whatever conventional medical treatments, diet protocols and even exercise regimes, clearly not effective for easing the rates of obesity and diabetes in Malaysia. Conventional wisdom no longer work in terms of health and long term sustainable fat loss, we are ballooning ourselves from fat, fatter to fattest.  







Malaysia, as highlighted in RED, scored the worst in Diabetes and Obesity amongst most Asian countries.
