What and how much they eat in different countries

For The Hungry Planet, families with their weekly supply of food were photographed around the world. What people eat during the week, in different countries radically different in cost and content. Photographers Peter Menzel and Fave D’Aluzio from California conducted a real photographic study, traveling around the world – from America to Bhutan. In total ease he visited 24 countries.
