OMG, I just can't figure out where these pimples are coming from
Photographer Peter Menzel and writer Faith D'Aluisio came up with a clever little idea for their book, Hungry Planet: What the World Eats. The authors hovered over the dinner tables of 30 families in 24 countries over the course of one week. The result is a study, in pictures, of the world's eating habits, and also a somewhat uncomfortable glimpse across the economic chasm between the planet's northern and southern hemispheres.
NPR has a feature on Hungry Planet with interviews plus eye-opening photos of families clustered around their rations for one week. Cf. especially the photo above with the Aboubakar family of Darfur, in front of their tent in the Breidjing Refugee Camp, in eastern Chad. I'm heebie-jeebed. Because, yeah, that was me last week in the liquor store, duking it out with a Quebecois guy over the last two bottles of Beaujolais Nouveau.
