El fotógrafo Peter Menzel viajó por el mundo para fotografiar a 30 familias de 24 países diferentes y documentar la comida que consumirían en una semana así como su gasto semanal. Su libro "Hungry Planet" muestra las grandes diferencias entre los productos y gastos de las familias en países como Alemania ($500.07), Estados Unidos ($346), Japón ($317.25) y Chad ($1.62).
"Hungry Planet: What The World Eats" by Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio (Ten Speed Press; $40) grabs your attention for the startlingly varied stories it tells about how people feed themselves in 24 countries around the world. Its contents are based on detailed research, beautifully photographed, presented with often disturbing clarity. Photographer Menzel and writer D'Aluisio introduce us to 30 families, representing every continent, each family photographed with the food they had for the week they were interviewed. The household range is from the most affluent in the developed countries to the neediest. "A rich and thoughtful commentary on today's human condition," sums up Marion Nestle, a nutrition professor, in the foreword.

1. Hace unos años, el fotógrafo Peter Menzel decidió viajar por el mundo y fotografiar a 30 familias de 24 países de todo el mundo. La idea era fotografiar a las familias, junto a la comida que consumirían esa semana, además de tomar nota del gasto por cada una de las familias. El libro se llama Hungry Planet , y la verdad es que además del buen trato fotográfico, sorprende mucho las diferencias entre un país y otro. Vean las fotos y deténganse en los productos , en el numero de personas que tiene cada familia y que productos consumen… es muy interesante.
