Food Around The World

Peter Menzel's gallery of photos shows how different countries around the world eat different amounts of food each week and different types of food all together. He shows how some families live off small portions of food for an entire week and in one picture he shows the amount an American family eats in a week and it is substantially more that any other photo. He shows how in some countries the people dont waste anything they use all of the parts of animals when they eat and they will eat what ever they have available whether it be cooked or raw. The amount of food consumed by families across the world change on the location. He is telling us that when humans need to eat we will eat what ever is available to us.

  1. As an American, I never realized how much an average family actually does consume on a weekly basis, and I think it's crazy how much we do eat compared to those in other countries. I agree with the fact that in some countries, when it comes down to it, they will eat any and everything that they can. To them, nothing is allowed to be wasted.
