Food For Thought

Maybe it's because it's only a few days since I uttered the words "Never again!!" after a massive Thanksgiving Dinner blow out (wonderfully good and healthy food, but I ate too much), that I find this photo-essay on what one week's worth of food means to different families in different parts of the world so fascinating.

I think the pictures themselves speak volumes - and, no, this post isn't a rant about how we in the west are fat pigs - but you can click on the above link for details of where the families in the pictures are from, and how much money they spend a week on food.

Hat tip to Pandagon, and to Kara for reading Pandagon.
