I saw this photo essay on Time, and thought it was pretty interesting comparing what the world eats in a week. It was fairly obvious that Americans and Europeans eat the most processed foods and the least amount of fruits and vegetables.

My personal diet probably resemble the Melander family of Bargteheide (in smaller quantities of course), of mostly vegetables, grains/pasta, and meats.

Stuff at the store is more than adequate. I still eat my meats and junk, so I'm not pure hippie or whatever.

Regular grocery store sells whole wheat bread which is actually tastier than I remember it being when I tried it a long time ago, those big tubs of non-instant oatmeal from Quaker (I just boil water, pour it into the bowl with the oatmeal and raisins, let set for 5 mins, then microwave for 1 min), fruit and salad from the produce section, cook the chicken myself in extra virgin olive oil with a lemon pepper seasoning (mmmm), and nuts are nuts.

Spaghetti's eh. I'm not making my own damn sauce and I'm definitely not giving up the spaghetti. It's too good laugh.gif 93/7 beef for the meat. Blah blah blah.

Yeah, who needs an organic store for all that food. Doesn't seem that expensive to me, either, in neither time nor money. Bananas are fucking cheap right now. Watermelons will be soon. Apples and oranges are always cheap. Raisins aren't that bad and last a good long while, so you can buy larger quantities to save.

Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?
