These findings were among the results of an Oxfam survey gaining publicity today, in which more than 16,000 people around the world were asked what their favourite food is.
According to the survey, the world's top three favourite foods are pasta, meat and rice.
In Australia, chocolate ranked number one, followed by pasta, steak, seafood and pizza.
Pizza was overwhelmingly the top food in the United States, with almost twice as many people choosing it ahead of the second-ranked steak. Chicken, Mexican and pasta rounded out the top five.
In the United Kingdom, pasta, chicken, curry and pizza ranked behind steak as the top food choices.
More seriously, Oxfam found that high food prices have altered the food that many people around the world eat.
More than half of the respondents in poorer countries said they are no longer eating foods they ate two years ago, with 39 per cent blaming that change on rising prices.
In the US, most attributed their change in eating habits to health reasons rather than cost.
