In What the World Eats, Time Magazine asks "What's on family dinner tables in fifteen different homes around the globe?" with photography from Peter Menzel's Hungry Planet.
United States: The Revis family of North Carolina
Food expenditure for one week: $341.98
Favorite foods: spaghetti, potatoes, sesame chicken
Chad: The Aboubakar family of Breidjing Camp
Food expenditure for one week: 685 CFA Francs or $1.23
Favorite foods: soup with fresh sheep meat
Germany: The Melander family of Bargteheide
Food expenditure for one week: 375.39 Euros or $500.07

Some of these Juxtapositions are striking. I will hopefully hesitate the next time I start to superficially complain that "I'm starving."
