The great global food gap
 

A study of what 30 families living around the world eat in one week shows the huge gulf between the diets of different nations.

Crisps, biscuits and chocolate treats dominate the shopping basket of the Baintons from Britain who spend an average of £155 every week to feed their family of four.

Other items on their shopping list include ready meals such as baked beans as well as convenience goods like ketchup, teabags and mayonnaise.

These pictures of their weekly food shop shows the sharp contrast between the eating habits of those in the UK and others around the globe.

Maybe someone could add the other countries if interested.

damn, that articles says published in 2013 but I feel we've seen it before.

"A study of what 30 families living around the world eat in one week shows the huge gulf between the diets of different nations."

haha, and then the writer picks "The Melansons of Iqualuit" in the middle of butt-fuck nowhere to represent the "average" Canadian family. This writer is definitely cherry picking his data!

and where's the Siracha?

cool?

what do Zionists eat? souls? the poor? children with diabetes? inb4 shit gets derailed


:troll:

Dumbest shit I've read.

Seriously?

"Hey, Let's show the prices of what people spend on groceries on a weekly basis, not using a standard currency or factoring relative prices/wages."

Dumb article, writer, and OP.

This article is nothing but an attention grabber for idiots.

I posted this to say the American family will die first.

LOL, the Germany family. Look at the faces of the wife and children...the father is probably an angry drunk that beats them

Let us all agree. Beer is universal in all diets, gluten free or not. Unless you're zionist, then you subsist exclusively on children's tears and myrrh.

To be fair, half the towns they picked their examples from don't necessarily resemble the stereotype of the given country they're from.

That said, that Nunavut purchase looks pretty similar to mine.

Yes, I find the different ethnicities and having a look inside these homes also interesting.

I would like to be adopted into this household :fuckyea:

Another unhealthy American family.

you guys are reading into this way too much, just look at the pictures for their face value

fake. didn't see kfc ...

Because we differ in ethnicity, changing our old generational diets to new ones might not be as compatible.


Some peoples gut bacteria put them at more risk of clogged arteries in this study.

A study in the New England Journal of Medicine says foods like eggs and meat can increase the risk of heart disease because of the way they are digested.

When were these pics taken. Looks like the late 80's early 90's.

Those pictures are from a journalistic photography set, not a "study" :lawl:

It was never intended to show more than some amusing anecdotal portrayals of how different families eat around the world. They don't represent ANYTHING other than that.

"This, we are going to eat this dog tonight, then my dead daughter in the photo for tomorrow lunch"

Egypt looks good. Meat and veggies.

The American and Canadian family both spent £220, but look at how much more food they got

from counting looks like he's drinking at least a bottle a day on avg

I disagree with you. Let us commence argument over Internet

Yeah yeah. "Death to America" All that.

We get it. You're from Iran and proud to be Iranian.

^ I believe that type of prejudice is grounds for banishment..

If this study include russian family there would be a container of borcht, three loaves of bread and 8 litres of vodka

this shit is so old

This is good that you question it because although the study looks very credible, with a shiny heart blocking video and famous host Charlie Rose, it may very well be flawed!
