There's no inherent truth of the universe that requires countries to have such disparate wealth that some are so much better to live in. I bet most people arguing for removing borders would also argue there should be much better global

In stories like this, I think that sort of thing is less about mental gymnastics, and more about picking a less controversial target to make their point with.

Oreos are vegan, and are the best selling cookies in the US. Thin Mints are vegan too, and as I understand it, they're pretty popular. Graham crackers are often vegan, and those are the base for basically every homemade cheesecake. Obv

Even under your ludicrous example, lunch is not an investment because the increase in income does not come from reselling the lunch. At the absolute most, if you really squint and stretch, you could argue that lunch is a business expense.
