12km = ... $4??

Hey, we tried switching over before, but apparently we're too dumb to figure it out. At least we're in good company with Liberia and ... Burma.

What The World Eats

Sometimes I do this thing where I go into the kitchen, open the fridge stand there and stare at my food then close the door. Then I walk over to the pantry and stare at my food there and close the door. Then I proceed to repeat these actions for about 5-8 minutes, sigh and decide I have nothing to eat then walk away still hungry. This article made me think twice about that bad habit I have.

Below is an excerpt from an article chronicling the way families eat in a typical week all over the world. It's surprising and not surprising all at the same time, how much say an average American household has compared to a family in the middle of Africa. Do we really need this much? Can we do something about this great difference just by eating less?


United States: The Revis Family

China – The Dong Family

Mexico – The Casales Family

Ecuador – The Ayme family
Mali – The Natomo Family
