What the World Eats
 |
What kinds of foods do people eat around the world? How much does it typically cost? These are questions that TIME Magazine tackles in an online feature entitled What the World Eats
In a slideshow, you can see various families from around the world posing with presumably a week’s worth of groceries. You can find out what their favourite foods are, and how much it all typically costs. Fascinating! Apparently this is from the new book Hungry Planet by Peter Menzel.
I mention this because not only is Mexico included, our home city is in there – Cuernavaca! Watch for it. Not the different types of food (amount of vegetables, breads, milk, etc), and the cost compared to other countries.

🙂 Cool! I’m glad to see that you found that interesting. Extra neat that your home city was mentioned. Do you think they pretty accurately represented your city?

I don’t know if I’m well enough informed to say how accurate it is, but that looks like a typical Cuernavaca set of groceries to me. A lot of it looks pretty familiar – the long line of Cokes, for example. 🙂 The Chipotle chilies in the front (mmmm). Favourite food pizza – not a surprise. 🙂
