Peter Menzel and Faith D’Aluisio set out to explore just how diverse the eating habits around the globe are, and published a photo album with their discoveries, called the Hungry Planet. The authors visited 30 families in 24 countries, each time photographing them at home, shopping at the market and surrounded by their weekly food purchases. Over 600 meals in countries from Chad to China reveal completely different stories: while some families don’t go without 6 gallons of Coca-Cola a week, others got to hunt down a seal to feed their kids. How would your diet look, if captured in this album?
