Peter Menzel: Food Around The World

     On Peter Menzel's online gallery, his section on food aims to enlighten the world about foreign eating habits. Just by looking at the differences portrayed between an American family's weeks worth of food and that of an African family, it is very saddening to see the meager amounts of food some people have to eat. Some of the pictures of foreign delicacies such as marinated grasshopper are meant to shock the audience, and show the interesting tendencies of foreign cultures. Although I am an American, it was shocking to see the food choices of the American choices. It seemed that some lower class families abroad had healthier meals than people that could afford to eat lavishly.
