How much food is spent on people around the world and what kind of food are they going on?

It seems that Peter Menzel's "Hungry Planet" titled "Hungry Planet" summarizes how many people around the world use meals every week and what kind of meals they are eating. Food expenses also have a proportion of revenue, so we can not compare with each other unconditionally, but it is very interesting as we can see the difference of foods by country at a glance.

Details are as follows.
What the World Eats

Ukita family living in Kodaira city. Food expenses is 30,699 yen a week, my favorite dish is sashimi, fruit, cake, potato chips. I'm pretty biased towards a snack. Food expenses are quite large at around 140,000 yen if you fix to the moon.


A Revis family living in North Carolina, USA. Food expenses are $ 341.98 a week (about 42,300 yen), favorite dishes are spaghetti, potatoes, sesame chicken.


Melander family living in Bargteheide, Germany. The meal cost is 375.39 euros a week (500.07 dollars: about 62,000 yen). Favorite cuisine is onion, bacon, herring potatoes, egg and cheese fried noodles, pizza, vanilla pudding. As expected it is full of beer bottles.


Casales family living in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Food expenses is 1862.78 pesos a week (189.09 dollars: about 23,000 yen), my favorite cuisine is pizza, crab, pasta, chicken. The number of PET bottles that look like Coke lining along the back wall is amazing. There are plenty of vegetables.


Ayme family living in Tingo of Ecuador. Food expenses are $ 31.55 a week (about 3900 yen). Household cuisine is potato soup with cabbage.


Aboubakar family living in Chad's Breidjing camp. Food expenses are 685 CFA franc (weekly $ 1.23: about 152 yen), my favorite dish is lamb soup. There are few kinds of ingredients.


The American family has the pizza and it feels like the image, but there are also places like a bit different from the image. If Japanese families here are wrong foreheads, are they always shopping at a high-end supermarket?

By the way, the interview is going to 30 families in 24 countries in the world, it seems that it is a book titled "Eating table of the earth".
