What The World Eats
Germany’s GEO magazine published a comprehensive nutrition story based on Peter Menzel and Faith D’Aluisio’s most recent book, Hungry Planet: What The World Eats.
Essentially, they’ve traveled the world to meet “average” families and report on their dietary habits. Apart from being thematically intriguing from a journalistic point of view, it’s also quite awesome from a visual perspective. Basically, Peter has taken photos of the families with their weekly food totals.
Families from Australia, Chad—including a refugee family from Darfur, Sudan—China, Ecuador, Germany, Greenland, Kuwait, Okinawa, Poland, the USA, and others are featured in large portraits, each with a week’s worth of food.
This one is a representative from the US, and here are some others (below the fold). A whole ton of other pictures can be found here.
