This gallery was going around recently:

Apparently a journalist asked one family in each of 20 different countries to gather all of the food they bought in one week and take a picture. It's a fascinating look at global diets. The UK is even more disturbing than the US.

Mexico is interesting. A table full of fresh food, and... what looks like 12 2-liter bottles of Coke.

On the USA table, there is literally nothing fresh. Every food is packaged, plus McDonalds, Burger King, 2 pizzas... Plus Diet Coke of course.

And in Germany, again looks like a lot of healthy food there but then there's like 4 bottles of wine and 30 bottles of beer. Uh, that's a weeks worth of booze is it?

And finally, with Chad. Three bags of something (rice I suppose) and a bottle of water. No fresh food, like the Americans. But compare the two pics side by side - wow.

Side note: it used to be that Mexican Coke contained cane sugar instead of HFCS. Not sure any more.

This must be quite old actually, I remember seeing it many years ago in a magazine.

But it's very interesting anyway, thanks for the link!
