Today is National Hunger Awareness Day and so I thought I'd tell you about this great book called Hungry Planet: What the World Eats by Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio. It's a fascinating coffee table book with portraits of families, surrounded by the food they eat during the course of a week. It's amazingly thought-provoking (compare the Californian family to say, the family in Bhutan or Chad) and wonderfully interesting.

Oh, I wanna eat what they eat! So much green.
1Check out the price compared to the amount of people too. All that fast and 'junk' food is expensive compared to this fresh (and much better looking) bounty. Sure there is different currency ratio etc... but still.
2this picture made me hungry
3The truth is that in America 'junk' food is much cheaper and easier to buy than fresh produce. I realize the American family spent much more in general. But in comparison fresh produce cost as much as twice as much here.
4i disagree with that. $5 for a sandwich from subway or burger is cheaper than a bun from a bakery, some lettuce, a few slices of meat or cheese from a deli...? doubtful.
5I can buy a loaf of bread for $2.50, a half pound of lunch meat from the deli for $4, a head of lettuce for $1, two tomatoes for $1.50, and an avocado for a $1 and be able to make five sandwiches for $10 versus one sandwich for $5 from Subway.
6It does look yum!
7a very well balanced diet! kudos to the ahmed family!!
8I wish they would have me over for dinner. That looks heavenly!
9Looks like the most healthy and most colorful to me.
