In addition to other’s great points, this is skewed because there are countries where the Big Mac’s cost is highly subsidized by government (such as in the US with dairy and beef.)
> The U.S government spends $38 billion each year to subsidize the meat and dairy industries, but only 0.04 percent of that (i.e., $17 million) each year to subsidize fruits and vegetables. A $5 Big Mac would cost $13 if the retail price included hidden expenses that meat producers offload onto society.
