    i’m suspicious of your last three claims. the first and third one uncritically cite poore-nemecek 2018, which indicates they either don’t understand the issues with that methodology, or they don’t care (since it makes their “research” sound more impactful). the oxford study i have read in full, and it only addresses retail costs of food, making no mention of people who receive subsidized food, free food from poverty programs, or people who raise their own food, or hunt or trap or fish for it. basically, it excludes anyone who is actually poor.
