[shaft]

Photographer Peter Menzel started this intriguing series of one weeks of groceries from around the world, taking traditional food photography to a much larger scale.

A family of 4 drinks 8-64oz bottles of juice, 3 gallons of milk, 12pk of coke and a 12pk of beer each week? lol?

[bitWISE]

Mmm. Nothing like a bag of grain.

[Pext]

Yanks and brits seem to eat mostly junk. The only propper food the US family has seems to be some wine grapes.

Best balance seems to be in turkey, india and bhutan.

And at least one in that german family is a fucking alcoholic!

Also: Only the french and italian women seem to be attractive.

12 pack of beer a week... uhh yeah... totally not every other night...

12 pack of beer a week... uhh yeah... totally not every other night...

the germans have 31 bottles of beer and 4 bottles of wine. Assuming only the parents drink thats around 2-3 bottles of beer and at least 2 glasses of wine every day per person.

judging from the skin condition it seems to be the father of the family.

Ah well: I forgot that US people don't cook at home most of the time. Also the kids propably get cafeteria food at school.

[Κracus]

Yeah I was referring to me.

Reminds me of something my grandfather said to me. "All a person needs is a cup of rice every day. Everything else is a luxury."

[Captain]

...he said while chomping down on a giant t-bone steak.

[xer0s]

He prefers prime rib...

[Tsakali]

I'm hard pressed to believe the Chinese image is an accurate descriptor of averages.

[Captain]

They missed Greece:

If they showed the Danes, it'd be a table full of beer. They literally have it with every meal.

[feedback]

Damn those Japanese look sad as FUCK

mental note to never go to Ecuador or Guatemala unless I want to die from plantain and carrot poisoning

I saw this... where did i see this? Oh yes, at an exposition with plastified and creativily cut up corpses by some crazy German crazy scientist-artist-inventor. Or was he Austrian. It was one of those, but it doesn't really matter.

I think the major lesson to be learned from this is that western people eat some outrageously unhealthy things. Especially Mexicans and Americans, jesus look at that horrible mess of heart attacks and strokes waiting to happen. The filthy swine.

[LawL]

lol @ abbos.

[scared?]

Mexicans are the worst...Lol Mexicans...

And the school food is worse than the shit we buy at home. In many cases, school food is worse than prison food.

Not surprised regarding North American groceries, I see the same thing waiting in line at the cash at Costco every week.

[seremtan]
