What the world eats
This is from a great Time Magazine article..
It is a picture essay of family's from around the world, with one weeks groceries sitting in front of them... i have showed this to my kids and have created great conversations... One of the fascinating conclusions we had...was how the poorer countries almost "seemed" to have a better diet...their food might be minimal, but it has 0 chemicals... Here is a sample i believe the countries are, Mexico, USA, Chad, Japan and Kuwait At the site they quote the cost..and the families favorite recipe... It is a great conversation starter!!     http://www.time.com/time/photogaller...626519,00.html Last edited by Céline; 01-15-2010 at 12:11 PM. |

Re: What the world eats
It gives such a different perspective...
Now i know there are people starving to death in most of these countries...but.. When i look at Chad, Tibet etc...i find myself looking at "clean food"... no additives...no advertising...no PACKAGING!!! |
