What exactly is the point? Egypt is a third world country, so it would be crazy to expect their people to be living anything but. And I'd like to know where you got your quantitative statistics for such a qualitative idea.
Also, these cultural preferences are just that, preferences. Preferences dont have to be absolutely good for you, but you cant change them. For instance, Americans love meat and they like American football, while Greeks prefer more vegetables in their diet and they like football (soccer). In regards to health, Greeks have a better diet, but that doesnt mean that we should expect Americans to change their tastes and preferences. And you cant really argue over something like which sport is better, football or soccer.
