Fascinating!

I myself think that the Egyptians and Italians are eating the best, despite the cost. The family in Poland, of course, will have to adjust once the Euro enters circulation soon.
This post certainly has a lot of food for thought.

It was nice to see that the Italian family has 3 kids.
You all need to check out BBC America’s “You Are What You Eat.” It will change your life.
Fascinating!
B. I think I’d like to visit an Egyptian restaurant.
Very interesting! Though I have to wonder just how typical each of the families are.
I grew up as one of a large family (eight kids), and even with today’s prices, we’d never spend as much as the representative family. But we ate very little meat and a lot more things like vegetables and beans and rice and soups and homemade bread...homemade everything, really. Including really good pizza!
Packaged foods are pricey!
The last picture is beyond humbling.

So, the poorer folk have more kids. I guess that’s OK if the parents can feed them all.
So the message here is we’re selling food way too cheap in Chad ?
I lived (stationed) in Italy and Persian Gulf Region for almost 8 years of my 26 year career as well as SEA and other countries and food was dirt cheap. In Northern Italy near Aviano Air Base we could get a 9 course meal at Orsini’s for less than 3 dollars a person. My daily lunches and dinners locally were a dollar plus change in most cases.
In the middle east, Oman, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar etc food was as cheap but just awesome quality.
Only place where I don;t let the sun set on me or mine again is France where we paid (grudgingly) almost 12 dollars for a simple burger and soft drink....this was in 1976. I ain’t been back to that sink hole since.
Fascinating. Thanks.
Except for the Equador family, the kids who have the junk foods are smiling as opposed to those sullen faces without goodies.
The Revis family is doing some pretty poor shopping. I could stretch that amount into two weeks of food.
Just a hunch, the disparities may be related to the number of successful lawsuits against food producers in the various places shown. Thanks Coleus.
That family from Bhutan must be eating rice with every meal. Good thing it tastes like whatever is added to it :)
Fascinating- thanks for the thread.
I’m amazed by the American family- I saw grapes- but not vegetables or other fruits. Lots of junk. That’s a lot of money in a week for junk.
I like the food on the Italian table- looks balanced.
BTTT!
