Hungry Planet

We're hungry. Wanna grab something to eat? Wait, let's just look at one more web site before we break for lunch... What's this "Hungry Planet" thing? A book from photographer Peter Menzel? Wow. He and collaborator Faith D'Aluisio visited 24 countries and photographed what 30 different families eat during the course of a typical week. Looks like the French have a pretty well-balanced menu. Families in China sure like their fruits and vegetables—India too. How about the good ol' U.S.A? Well, comparing that to a week's worth of food in places like Chad, maybe we're not as hungry as we thought. We should probably go out and buy this book instead.
