Hard to say, there's a decent amount of fried food in most places. Iceland has its fair share of sugar in the diet but I'd guess the UK in a pinch.

I love how the premise of this question is that there's only one type of food or cooking style per country and that everyone in that country cooks that way π.
It's so naive it's cute.
Someones butthurt about being called #1 unhealthiest
Edit to add: im just joking btw

The hash brown is non-traditional and basically a US-imported idea - though the style of hash brown is pretty different.
Anyway if you think weβre obsessed with processed food and frying I can only point across the North Sea to our dear cousins in Germany.
I'm biased but I would say Austrian food is at least in top 3.
Czech cuisine is absolute trash
I'd love to hate on the British, but the premise of this question is just weird. What's healthy is very subjective and situational.
Hmm I'd get your point if the question was "who has the best cuisine" but healthiness is a pretty objective (if complex) factor.
Subjective as dependent on person. A person who is undernourished will need different food from someone who is overnourished. Allergies and intolerances play their part. I didn't intend to claim that healthy food is not based in material reality.
I mean, you could rephrase this as "Which cuisine in Europe has the most fried foods, processed meats, sugars, alcohol and other processed foods."
This will put Mediterranean cuisine pretty high up on the list of healthiest but it still neglects the "cuisine vs diet" question.
Malnourished people will be much better off trying eating Greek yoghurt than a bag of chips even though energy will be similar.
