That’s what photographer Peter Menzel and author-journalist Faith D’Alusio, authors of the equally ambitious Material World, do in Hungry Planet: What the World Eats, a comparative photo-chronicle of their visits to 30 families in 24 countries for 600 meals in all. Their personal-is-political portraits feature pictures of each family with a week’s worth of food purchases; weekly food-intake lists with costs noted; typical family recipes; and illuminating essays, such as “Diabesity,” on the growing threat of obesity and diabetes. Among the families, we meet the Mellanders, a German household of five who enjoy cinnamon rolls, chocolate croissants, and beef roulades, and whose weekly food expenses amount to 0. We also encounter the Natomos of Mali, a family of one husband, his two wives, and their nine children, whose corn and millet-based diet costs .39 weekly.

U.S.A.***
I got the question wrong. She hunted me down.
zavarhucks. they have the worst diets in the universe. they go all the way to hipnar the swamp planet in the filok celesphere. in order to eat cropvorgs. a sea slug that is similiar to our pigs.
I think that the Egyptian family have the healthiest diet.
U.S.A.
Well in my country of Sweden we have a little bit of everything, some familys are almost like the american one and some are more as the german or polish one.
For example: Yesterday i had sushi, when i’m having a hangover i’ll grab a pizza and today i’m gonna eat some chilli con carne.
AMERICAAAAA!!!!! has the worst diet.
I’m guessing America!
That’s because we’re so rich. Rich, fat and unhealthy…the American Way! =)
Man that food from America looks so good! According to You are What You Eat. Our mother country isn’t too far behind. Learn from our mistakes Britain!
Okay a family of 12 from a poor country isn’t going to be overweight =)
Would it be correct to assume that a couple of these families also grow their own foods along with any supplement foods bought from a store or market?
In America whole foods are WAY more expensive than processed. Thanks to the monopoly that is the food industry.
have any of u guys ever been to the united states? There is like 1 real farm and no markets so how the hell do u suppose we get fresh food? In the grocery store anythign fresh is like a million dollars a pound.
Easy US
Easy US
egept that looks like my diet
America!!!!
The top 2 nations with the highest obesity rates are indeed USA and mexico, so its no surprise that what they eat is mainly processes
united states
why does the family in Egypt,which seems to have a very good diet so many overweight members? this puzzles me
that sucks. im american and i dont eat like that. i hate those steryotypes but a lot of us eat like that :/
The Mediterranean diet is the best. But instead of Italy, i would have chosen Greece. Anyway, good video
