What We Eat

Time runs a fascinating photo essay showing all the food families around the world eat in an average week, as well as how much is spent on food. The 15 featured families appear in Peter Menzel's book Hungry Planet.

Shown: The food expenditures for a family in a refugee camp in Chad, above, is $1.23 per week. Below, a four-member family in North Carolina spends $341.98 per week, and a family in Cuernavaca, Mexico, spends $189.09.
