If you’ve wondered how what we eat here in US compares to the rest of the world, head over to TIME where  they’ve put together a beautiful photo essay called “What the World Eats” with photos from the book “Hungry Planet.”

They’ve posted Part 1 of the project that shows 15 families and literally what they eat.  Each family is photographed with a room full of food that represents their eating habits. The families are from all over, including Tingo, Cario, Konstancin-Jeziorna, Beijing and more.

While there is a clear trend toward people from more developed country eating more processed foods (booo!), overall the results are pretty varied and super interesting.

Give a look and then think about what your photo might look like and if need be how you would change yours to perhaps look more green!

I noticed that the USA families hardly had any vegies or other fresh foods. It certainly did not reflect the way my family eats.

It’s amazing to me what a “typical” family eats in one week in differing parts of the world.
