What follows are pictures of various families around the world along with the food that they consume in one week. Take special notice of each family size and the various foods that are unique to their country. I also found it interesting to note the quality of their diets. The US family had the worst – note the absence of fruits and vegetables and the processed foods they ate! Also included is the cost.
