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.

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.

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.

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."

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

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

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.

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.
