what the world eats

Posted by bryanz on Fri Jun 08 2007 10:48 (Link)
this is pretty interesting. what do 30 families from around the world eat in a week? notice the abundance of processed foods and brand names in the more developed countries. also notice how similar the foods are among those countries, even though they're across the planet. who knew you could get ritz crackers and pringles in kuwait city, and the people there actually like them?
