It's interesting if you look at what is eaten, and how many people are in each family.

The Diva · 01-28-2008, 06:44 PM

Based on the menus

I'd gladly stay with the Italians, the Germans or the Egyptians

Interesting you say that Artist.

The US family, almost all the food is pre-packaged unlike any other country here.

The Diva · 01-30-2008, 10:37 PM

that is so true! Things are changing across the world.

Many countries are now going more for heavily processed foods.

BTW did anyone notice the Coca-Colas?

But without doubt, what we eat does depend on your culture, your economic level, and the amount of time you allot to prepare meals.

Yes, we did. We were thinking that in the pic of the Mexican family, there's more Coca-Cola than we (Me+Sandy) consume during an entire year.

On the topic of daily food consumption:

With food prices rising, Haiti's poorest can't afford even a daily plate of rice. Now some people are taking desperate measures to fill their bellies.. (00:01:00)
