What The World Eats

A few days ago MSN posted a photo essay titled “What The world eats,” showing all the food eaten by families from various countries.  My first reaction to this was “wow, that’s a lot of food!” but then living the life of a bachelor I’d never really given that much thought to what your standard nuclear family consumes.  I was also struck by the variation between families such as all the processed foods in the United States photo compared to a complete lack in Ecuador’s.

What do you guys think?  Be sure to check out the “Wealth and health in 10 countries” spreadsheet on the bottom as well.  Also, that’s a lot of soda, Mexico!
