Food "What the World Eats"

[Neeya]

This is a pretty interesting link my SO found, about how much people from around the world spend on food per week:

all the way from $1.23-$500!

I hope this hasn't been posted before

Very interesting! Notice how the developed countries spend more and have more processed food while the undeveloped countries spend less and have more produce.

It's rather heart wrenching to see a family live off $5.00 plus of food per week.

I can't believe how much some of the families spend--
some of them had quite a bit of junk food present, which I think costs more in the long run--kind of appalled at all the junk food

Wow, interesting!! I can closely identify with the kuwaiti and egyptian families, good thing I'm still "tradition" at heart, no junk food for me. (other than the "special" occasion)

This is so true! Often times when I compare my weekly grocery spending I notice that the most expensive weeks are the ones where I load up on junk food. I'm trying really hard to curb buying processed foods and junk.
