It’s an inspired idea–to better understand the human diet, explore what culturally diverse families eat for a week. That’s what photographer Peter Menzel and author-journalist Faith D’Alusio, authors of the equally ambitious Material World, do in Hungry Planet: What the World Eats, a comparative photo-chronicle of their visits to 30 families in 24 countries for 600 meals in all. Their personal-is-political portraits feature pictures of each family with a week’s worth of food purchases; weekly food-intake lists with costs noted; typical family recipes; and illuminating essays, such as “Diabesity,” on the growing threat of obesity and diabetes. Among the families, we meet the Mellanders, a German household of five who enjoy cinnamon rolls, chocolate croissants, and beef roulades, and whose weekly food expenses amount to $500. We also encounter the Natomos of Mali, a family of one husband, his two wives, and their nine children, whose corn and millet-based diet costs $26.39 weekly.

I paused the video …
I paused the video and I’m wondering which country has the worst diet in the world. Thinking, thinking, still thinking.
Guess the American or the German diet
It’s a comfort …
It’s a comfort thing! A way to express your freedom, a way to live the American way.
… yeah!
I know of a group …
I know of a group consisting of over 14% of the world’s population who got the absolute worst diet to date, I think it’s called the starvation method.
i have that book …
i have that book too!! expensive but very good. u won’t regret it ^^ /
The best diet was …
The best diet was the Japanese family, in my opinion.
What country in the …
What country in the world has the worst diet?…. Ethiopia? or wherever they don’t have hardly any food, I guess. No food is worse than food.
they look happy, …
they look happy, but are they happy?
I hope everyone …
I hope everyone knows that American diet is the worst in the world. I am not American, and in my country this is considered as common knowledge. If you have read the book ‘Hungry Planet’, Americans consume a lot of sugar and meat.
Egypt seems to have …
Egypt seems to have the best, not just for price, but for quality food. They have carbs and vitamins to feed everyone. I don’t know their general a health. Japan was close, minus the packaged food and soda.
The U.S. definitely …
The U.S. definitely has the WORST diet in the entire world. The prevalance of fast food and processed food, the reliance on corn (as a sweetner), potatoes, and soy, the dependence on chemical fertilizers and conventional farming practices, and, above all, the absence of raw fruits and vegetables has made the U.S. a desperately unhealthy nation.
China is also …
China is also pretty good. My grandfather is 90 years old and he can still speak normaly, function, etc, etc while some 60 yearolds in America are fat or diseased.
Japan and india are …
Japan and india are the best.
The United States …
The United States people definitely looked the happiest. Does that count for anything? Just goes to show you, you can live on a lot of different stuff!
Duh, Germany. BEER! …
Duh, Germany. BEER!!!!!
But actually they all looked pretty good except US and Chad, and Mexico had too much soda.
I dont know if its …
I dont know if its the best, but i liked the egyptian diet most. It looks so really tasty and whole and healthy, too–
The italian diet also looked extremely good, but they have such a high amount of white bread!! That looks sooo fattening ^^
The american looked pretty good, though, too, but in MODERATION !! xD
I guess i couldnt even eat a third of one of those Pizzas!! Bbut a piece is such a wonderful treat, i loove it
