Carousel — Week Ending 8th February 2008
Happy Friday! Yay!
Food & Money, a Flickr photoset. Photographs of families around the world with the food they eat in a week & how much they spend on it. Very interesting. There is one guy who has taken the time to leave weird ranty comments on each picture, but it’s quite intriguing to see the way people eat & how they spend their money. From those photographs, the main thing I can deduce is that people who spend the least eat the most heathily — & look happiest — while those who are spending the most seem to be pretty much filling up on absolute rubbish. Pre-packaged, sugar-laden nothingness. Not what I would have expected at all.
Foodland. Wow.
