61 countries were included in the model, and the remaining countries were excluded because each variable did not contain at least two observations. Higher education enrollment (%), CO₂ emissions (Ten million tons) and forest area (%) data were extracted from the World Bank, and used to evaluate the cultural level and social environment of the corresponding country. Meat consumption (Ten million tons) and vegetable and fruit consumption (Ten million tons) data were extracted from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and used to evaluate food consumption in the corresponding country
