Family Eating Around the World
I was reading The Huffington Post and found a link to this interesting webpage with pictures of nine different families in separate countries throughout the world. Each picture shows a family, all the food they eat in one week, and how much that food costs.
I’ll let you draw your own conclusions, but I think it’s a very creative idea. It was fun for me to see families from around the world and notice the change in food types and quantities for each. I also loved how everyone was smiling for the camera.

I took a look at the differnet familiys and the first thing that accured to me is the amount of food they say yopu could buy with so many dollors. It was nuts that you can go over to some of these other countries and buy enough food for a week with some times a single houre worth of work for your averege American job.
the second thing that accured to me is that I would love to be invited to some of the diners some of these familiys must eat man they have some good ingrediants cooking from scratch like that…emmm good home cooked meal!! I would like to know how they came up with the numbers I guess that they must have translated the native currency into dollors after being givin a recept. Second to that thought I would like to know why you can buy so much more with a dollor in other countrys. I have heard that in some places people work all day for like a single american dollor, im now thinking that you can buy with that single american dollor that same amount of product as you could there in that country as you could in america with a full days work worth of dollors in America in a American market place. In other words they get a single American dollor but they can buy a lot more with a single american dollor there, makeing the amount of curreny exchanged for work about even.

I would love to eat a meal made from scratch without any highly processed ingredients.
