“… this household each adult can consume goods and services worth … US dollars each month. “ This is not an intuitive measure. “We guesstimated this amount based on the assets the family owned and the incomes they reported.” So owning a ridiculously expensive espresso machine is supposed to be a measure of the quality of food produced in a kitchen? No. I have an electric steamer and rice cooker which I use a lot, and the quality of my food is excellent. I understand a measure of nutrition is too far to be expect. But relevant to kitchen technology are CO2 production, energy efficiency. And these measures don’t need to be so granular. A multi-factor analysis on binary scale would be more informative and thoughtful than saying the dirt kitchen is $40/mo and Manhattan Penthouse kitchen is $7k/mo, and some other kitchen in India is 4K/mo?? Nonsense.
