How the World Eats

Today in the news I've noticed an article about Peter Menzel and his photos. His photo reportage was published in Time Magazine. And I loved those pics and the idea. Here is a short quote from Peter Menzel's site:
"Germany's GEO magazine was the first to publish a comprehensive nutrition story based on Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio's most recent book, Hungry Planet: What The World Eats. Families from Australia, Chad—including a refugee family from Darfur, Sudan—China, Ecuador, Germany, Greenland, Kuwait, Okinawa, Poland, the USA, and others are featured in large portraits, each with a week's worth of food. GEO has also published the book in German. (November 2005)."
< So the story is not relly new, but the idea is simple and very impressive. Looking through the photos one can get the idea what people on the globe like and can eat.
