How about in Cuernavaca? Or Konstancin-Jeziorna? Several years ago, photographer Peter Menzel and journalist Faith D'Alusio--creators of the fantastic Robo sapiens book--traveled the world documenting what 30 families in 24 countries eat in a week. (Seen here, the Ayme family of Tingo, who spend $31.55 on food in a week.) In 2005, Menzel and D'Alusio published Hungry Planet: What The World Eats, but Time has just now put a selection of the photos online. As interesting as how much each family spends on food are the variations in diet.
