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.

I think it depends on where you live... Food is expensive at some places, and it also depends on the quality of food too... I spend roughly ~$150-200/month on food.

true for sure, but still, that one american family is spending $1400 a month on food... that just sounds insane. I suppose they must eat out a lot. They did have a couple of delivery pizzas in their hands.

we have krogers down here and they seem a little expensive over wal mart. we'll alternate between them depending on which store has what we're looking for. although it PISSES me OFF that I cannot find my damn drinks down here. in Lubbock I would get Slice One Grape and/or Strawberry. Or the Diet Rite White Grape (these three are all splenda, and are friggin awesome if you can find em). I cannot find those anywhere in Houston. I've been to HEB, Krogers, Walmart, Randalls, some store that used to be a Gerlands, they are nowhere to be found. Guess my last try is Whole Foods.

edit: and nevermind... apparently whole foods definitely won't have em
