Some years ago, photographer Peter Menzel traveledthe world and photographed 30 families in 24countries. He wanted to photograph families alongwith the food they would consume in that week andtake note of the amount of money each family spenton it.

The result of this project is a book called HungryPlanet.

See the photos and check the number of familymembers in each family as well as the products theyconsume. It’s amazing!
