What the World Eats

I found this incredibly fascinating!
What a striking contrast. It seems that the family from France spends the most. And of course the families from Mexico and Africa spend the least. The pictures are amazing.

I have these books on my amazon list. One day! There is also one called "women in the material world" that is along the same vein that I like a lot. That one I have. The food ones, not yet.

I need to point out some things here.

Dude, the Germans spent $85 more than the Frogs. (Notice the couple dozen bottles of beer in there, by the way??? ;-)

Also, the Mexican family was right in the middle of the pack. The South American families still spent a little more than the African families.

This is totally off topic, but have you seen Everglades National Park yet, or is a trip to Florida in your future?

I have been to the Everglades.. but next up will be down to Dry Tortugas out past Key West. It looks awesome!

When I make it down there we should totally get together, even if it's just for lunch or something...;-)

Absolutely!! I would love that! Who knows, I could end up out your way in search of the illustrious cheese curds one of these days... :)
