this interestingly contradicts what “health food” culture would have you believe

How?

    That Europeans, specifically those around the Mediterranean Sea, are healthier than Americans because of a greater degree of vegetal nutrition. Like any complex system, there are more factors involved, I’d wager.

    Are we counting corn in this? The link to their list of veggies 404s.

    Because the numbers for the US would make much more sense. But yes, it's certainly more complex than that. Not all veggies are created equal, and if the proteins and fats are coming from different sources that'll be big too.
