I'd be curious about food/health laws in other countries high on that scale... the US is definitely one of the largest countries high on the list, and while the US sits at 28.5, most EU countries, where vastly better food regulation is in place, the average tends to be 25-26. (Several countries with major hunger issues sit towards the very low end, I wouldn't use as a picture of health.) HFCS may be a uniquely US problem, but foods with it are also exported, which explains why countries like Canada sit relatively high as well. It was a life-changing experience for me to visit EU countries, where orange Fanta contains 11% orange juice (and vaguely looks like orange juice), compared to the dark orange nearly-pure-sugar soda we drink here. Even McDonald's food was leaner, less greasy, and closer to what you'd get at a quality restaurant.
