Hungry Planet - What The World Eats

...Hungry Planet is amazing work by Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio which visually communicates what an average family from a range of countries eats in a week. I have a copy of this book, there is also a series of posters available.

What is striking is not only the variation in quantity of food, but type - especially the ratio of processed and packaged to fresh...

'In Hungry Planet, the creative team behind the bestselling Material World books, Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio, presents a photographic study of families from around the world, revealing what people eat during the course of one week. Each family's profile includes a detailed description of their weekly food purchases; photographs of the family at home, at market, and in their community; and a portrait of the entire family surrounded by one week's worth of groceries. To assemble this remarkable comparison, Menzel and D'Aluisio traveled to twenty-four countries and visited thirty families from Bhutan and Bosnia to Mexico and Mongolia.'
