Interesting Photo Essay

[Scrumhalf]

I found this on another website. It is a photo essay showing the weekly food purchases of 15 families across the globe.

What I found interesting was the difference in the amount of packaged versus fresh food in various countries and the rough correlation to obesity and other diet-related maladies that appear to exist in various populations across the world.

That's pretty crazy - the prices some people spend/don't spend are crazy as well :eek:...

It's interesting but kind of scewed. For example the Polish family spending only about $150 and a little more than 500 polish money is extremely wealthy in Poland. A family that spends over 500 in polish money would be like and American family spending about $300 a week on food.

Damn, I feel like I spend a lot of money...Food is so freaking expensive here. FOR ME ONLY I spend like 100-120 bucks every two weeks. Thats as much as some of those families spend in the same amount of time. Damn meat...
