It's weird. I think in a real life situation the number will be considerably higher.

It's a .gif! That's so cool. I wish I'd noticed earlier.
When you have effectively lowered the use of salt enough in cooking your food yourself to that degree that commercially processed food like soup etc tastes so salty that it hinders you to eat it.... you reduced your salt enough.
On the salt front, I find the formula pretty easy. I look at the calories:sodium ratio on the packaging. If the two numbers are close, it's fine. If the sodium is some multiple of the calories, then it's a high-sodium food. I am rationing my food based on calories anyway, so a pretty even ratio means that I'm getting a proper quantity of sodium in my diet.

I've been substituting a lot of highly-processed plant proteins in place of meat but they're all frighteningly high in sodium. Part of me is worried about that report but part of me remembers all the other reports that have been reversed over time on dietary issues.
All of my research indicates that high sodium is bad for you. Now, we focused on the nutritional aspects of various vegetables, but the sodium aspect kept rearing its head as fairly large.
This sodium component of salt represents about 40% of its mass. Some jurisdictions represent salt on the label, some jurisdictions represent sodium on the label. It's important to watch out for this! For example, six grams of salt is about 2400 mg of sodium.
This is why I compare sodium to calories on the label. I don't shoot for 2400 calories a day, but you can see the ballpark

I add salt to fast food french fries.

It's not as bad as people bragging about their callousness, but it's up there

Interesting that Spain is relatively close. Must be why the cultural shock arriving in Melbourne wasnt too huge.

If I understand the article correctly the parameters used are:
Labour productivity
Labour utilisation
Govt. spending
Market regulation
International trade
Urbanisation
Income inequality
Poverty rate
Population size
Old-age population
Foreign-born pop.
Participation gap
Giving the same importance to them all.

If you compare Turkey and Luxumbourg, close to each other in the graph when all slides are at equal importance at 1.0
Turkey has 80 million people, Luxumbourg has 0.6 million people.
You would expect that when you move the population size slide to 0.0, meaning population size has zero weight, that the total values of Turkey and Luxumbourg come closer. But the difference gets bigger !
If you move the slide to 2.0, making the weight of population size more important, the difference should be bigger, but it does become smaller !
