Healthcare spending goes up. As you’d expect from a country starting to become richer.

Also, please show reliable studies that show that western diets lead to more unhealthy outcomes.

Compared to what, third world diets with their insufficient nutrition and starvation?!

Furthermore food studies are notoriously badly done.

I think the more likely causation here is that higher incomes drive increase in western diets, and higher incomes lead to higher healthcare spending.
