I’m pretty sure it’d be something on the lines of ‘what do you reckon is more important/ the bare minimum needed to live a pleasant/good life’. The “health comes first” bit is a very ingrained thought in the Spanish mindset (“La Salud es lo primero :)”) so I’m not even surprised, and material well-being is sort of tied to health as well, because if you can’t pay your heating and utilities… so for me as a Spaniard it all makes sense. We’re family-oriented but we’re also very realistic and the basics come first.
Also the Occupation bit I’m pretty sure it just means “a job” and not a career, when asked in Spain. Unemployment has been rampant in Spain for years so even the thought of a proper career is a bit laughable.
So yeah, health, material well-being, occupation and then family sound good to me in that order as a Spaniard.

Most food poisoning claims are BS. Quite often it’s just that your stomach didn’t quite agree with what you ate at a certain time. Protein powder sometimes wrecks me too, some others I digest it just fine. Bananas and almonds were awful for my stomach for the longest time, now I’m 150% fine with them. Not everything’s a bloody allergy or food poisoning.
