Hungry Planet: What The World Eats

Product Description

Today we are witnessing the greatest change in global diets since the invention of agriculture. Globalization, mass tourism, and giant agribusiness have filled American supermarket shelves with extraordinary new foods. And, in return, McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Kraft Cheese Singles are being exported to every corner of the world.
In Hungry Planet, the creative team behind the best-selling Material World Books, Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio, presents a photographic study of families from around the world, revealing what people eat during the course of one week. Each family's profile includes a detailed description of the weekly food purchases; photographs of the family at home, at market, and in the community; and a portrait of the entire family surrounded by a week's worth of groceries.
