Comments on: One Week Of Food Costs http://www.GreenTaxi.com/one-week-of-food-costs/ A journey through Finance, the Environment, and Emerging Industries Thu, 09 Sep 2010 04:43:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Juan Manzo http://www.GreenTaxi.com/one-week-of-food-costs/comment-page-1/#comment-10956 Juan Manzo Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:32:16 +0000 http://www.greentaxi.com/?p=319#comment-10956 I find all these pictures very interesting. How very shocking it is to see the African family, how little they have to eat in the sense of variety, and even more attention grabbing is the fact that what I pay for supersizing my meal here (U.S.) a month could almost pay for a year's worth of food for this family. Thank you for such sobbering pictures. I find all these pictures very interesting.

Somebody went to a lot of trouble to style the shots (food layout and people) so that the content is consistent. It looks like a photo essay/project, rather than randomly gathered photos. It would be nice to know who's behind it, and to give them credit. Do you know who the photographer is?

I have admired all of the "Day in a Life of a Family" type stories that have been done. The food story is particularly poignant. I got here via Ed from The Slow Cook.</p> <strong>Conor: </strong>You are more than welcome. You are right on the amount of Cola consumed. The US photo is much more colorful from all the fast food, while the rest of the world has less brand names and bright advertising packages. Except for the Cola...Cola is everywhere.
