As complex as this might be to actually measure, here is a stab at it - the Big Mac index seems to disagree: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mac_Index#Figures

- ahoyhere 15y agoBig Macs barely qualify as food and are not a staple, or even remotely desirable to have your people eating. Fast food and restaurant food is relatively expensive in Austria. Good, healthy, whole food ingredients are subsidized.
- kahawe 15y agoI am Austrian (born and raised) and am working in Germany now and have been around Europe and the world - what are those subsidies for food you are talking about? You probably mean the Austrian government and the EU are subsidizing local farmers? Buying local farmer products will vary in cost and when you go to the supermarkets (Lidl, Aldi and Hofer EXcluded, their "food" is absolutely horrible) and buy organic food it definitely is expensive; a bit less in Austria than in Germany though really good and very delicious food is scarce in Germany in comparison. I found the food you can buy in the US cheaper when you go by price per unit since packages are way bigger there and you have a ton more to choose from.
