"What the World Eats"
A series of pictures of what a family in various countries eats and spends in a week. [link|http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1626519,00.html|Time] magazine link.
The range is incredible.

That black family in South Carolina . . .
. . is spending way too much on junk food, especially considering the California family is spending half as much - and that German family must be eating pretty damned high on the hog.

The westerners drink a lot of pop
I don't think we (i.e. me and Joanna) drink as much as (say) the Americans or the Sicilians in a year.
We spend about \ufffd60 a week on food for the pair of us, including what the animals eat. Lots of fresh meat & fresh veg. Not much processed food, but I do have a weakness for ramen-style snack noodles.

Or the Mexicans.
That's a lot of Coke.
We buy pop in this house maybe 10 times a year. Maybe. I'm the only one who drinks it, and I drink very little.
The KFC on the Chinese table was amusing. Although, I doubt they've removed the trans fats over there...

Mongolian looks good, too
Not many green things, though. And I hope the Germans have a little more variety than in that picture.
