What the world eats in a week

Posted June 8th, 2007 @ 3:17 pm by Andy Rau

There’s an amazing photo essay at Time.com vividly showing what 15 families from around the world eat each week.

Food

The contrasts between rich and poor nations are predictable but striking. The difference in the quantity of food is most obvious. But also interesting to me is the difference in quality of food—the healthiest-looking diets don’t correspond to the wealthiest countries. (Granted, I’m generalizing based on a handful of photos.)

I love photo essays like this—they’re a great way to make a point or get people thinking.
