What the World Eats

I loved this photoessay from Time. A few years ago, photographer Peter Menzel and journalist Faith D'Alusio visited thirty families across the world, and documented what they ate in a week in the book Hungry Planet. (The picture here is the British family's weekly shop. I can thankfully say that my own weekly shop looks a lot more like the Chinese family's haul, but rather more vegetabley.)

There are some shocks and surprises here, where weekly food rations are broken down by budget as well as by content. Well worth a look.
