What a family eats in a week.

This is an amazing visual of what families in the world eat on a weekly basis. It is also an interesting comparison for the number of family members, amount spent, and the types of foods eaten. I originally received this in an email forward, but it is taken from the book Hungry Planet. Check it out or buy it!
