- antidesitter 8y agoWorst economies relative to what? Certainly not on a global scale.
- muxator 8y agoHardly. It has more to do with gastronomical culture, I think. In Italy, for example, eating quality food is _important_, it is something people care about and actively look for. This has a low correlation with social or economical status, is something deeper, something that people learn to do since kids, looking at their parent's behavior, going with them at the market and learning how to choose good ingredients, spending time cooking.
