Food of the World in 23 Eye-Opening Photos

These photos are part of the book, ‘Hungry Planet : What the World Eats’ by Peter Menzel and Faith D’Aluision which depicts the increase of processed foods in the western countries and in the diets of many developing countries in the world over. 

These portraits feature pictures of each family with a week’s worth of food purchases. The project explores long-asked questions on whether diet, lifestyle and health are dominated by uncontrollable forces like poverty, conflict and globalization.
