Interesting perspective and quite sobering....Remarkable images of families from different parts of the world. They're surrounded by the food they consume in one week; we're also told the cost of that food. This is a way of showing the differences in the world.

United States : The Revis family of North Carolina /Food expenditure for one week: $341.98

    This is really interesting. It is funny you can tell just by the pictures that the American family eats the least healthy food.
