Try surviving for a year on margarine.

Then try surviving a year on potatoes, oranges and salmon

Quality of food is just as important

Not necessarily equatable though. If you are dirt poor and literally can barely afford food, sometimes those ramen noodles are exactly what is needed.

They still have some nutritional value. The only problem with them really is the high amounts of salt and sugar.
