Looking at diet alone, research the dietary habits of the countries identified to see if there is a potential link between diet and health life expectation. It might be types of food eaten, time to eat or even quantity of foods eaten.

On our webpage, I would like you to present your research in a mini-bio about the eating habits of each country listed. You should also finish with two paragraphs suggesting the differences between the countries and why you think this is.
