Time has posted fifteen eye-opening examples from Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio's book "Hungry Planet: What the World Eats", covering a wide span of families' weekly "grocery" expenditures, food selection, family recipes, and favorites. While we relate to familiar families who spend around $200 to $300 per week, with staples like pizza, ice cream, fatty snacks, and plenty of soda, we realize other families across the globe chow down on the real--like the Ayme family of Tingo, with a weekly budget of about $31 and a prized family recipe of potato soup with cabbage.
