A Week of Groceries

Have you seen the photo essay by Peter Mentzel that shows what a week's worth of groceries mean to families around the world? It's quite fascinating and sobering.

Germany is cracking me up; look at all that booze. 

I love the colorful array of vegetables in Guatemala; look at all those delicious tomatoes.

Oh Italy, how do you stay so svelte? That bread- oy! 

The good 'ole US of A, how you shame us all? I have to say, though, I was quite proud that my cart of groceries tonight looked nothing like this.
