What a Week's Worth of Groceries Looks Like Around the World

Mildly interesting. The Turks and I apparently share a love of bread.

Mongolia looked pretty great.

They practically velcroed (r) themselves to your hand.

Put money on that?/McCluster

North of Somalia.

why does the japense father look like Cesar from the original planet of the apes?

Also, is anyone surprised we look like a bunch of fatasses? I have seen this same thing done several times and its basically the same every time. Americans eat junk and processed foods while other people starve or eat more perishable type items. The more western your country is , the bigger of a fat ass you are.

Merica.

None of those pics look like a week's shopping at my house. The closest is Canada but without so much processed food.

It's an interesting series.

Did they just pull a random family have them report what they ate for a week? In that case, it's pretty much worthless as a representative sample.

They likely did, and I don't think this was any sort of scientific experiment. Likely its just to say HEY FATASSES LOOK HOW FAT WE ARE LOL.

Yeah, I have a hard time believing that is what the average Chinese family eats in a week. It looks more like one or two months worth.

There are 2 packs of "regular" bacon below the fish and the dude is probably standing in front of the 24 of Labatt Blue, (otherwise known as Smurf piss).

However, the lack of Kraft Dinner is disturbing enough for me to cry "foul".

Lived in ecuador for a year. Those folks in the picture come to the city to sell fruits and vegetables so not sure if they're representative of ecuador in general. Most ecaudoritos I know eat rice and beans as the base for all their meals. Lots of fantastic fruits and vegetables, but shitty meats and lousy breads.

For the record, lovely people, but they make the blandest, driest food in the world in general. Would not recommend.

As far as life expectancy - it's a 3rd world country overall, what could you expect?

Pretty sad how little fresh fruit and veggies Americans eat compared to other countries. No wonder we have a fat-people problem.

pretty sure the aussie one is on welfare. 160 bucks worth of smokes? probably sitting on 12 cases of VB.
