> commodities are more expensive than in the US

Eating food that doesn't make you very sick in the US is very expensive. It is very much not as simple as you state here.

Staples in the US are very cheap and many older generations ate them into old age. The real risk is eating at restaurants and eating snacks that didn't exist 50 years ago.

Many older generations smoked into old age. This doesn't mean that smoking doesn't make you very sick.

Most food in the US doesn't make you very sick. And food that doesn't make you sick is not very expensive.
