Unlocking Your Highest Potential

Where Do You Rank? A Comparison of what is Eaten in One Week from Various Countries

I love this comparison of what is eaten in one week from various countries around the world. Take a look at the diet of each country and the cost of what is eaten in one week.

What stands out to me is the difference in fresh food vs processed. Additionally, I love the vitality & joy in the faces of the families living on smaller budgets.

Which do you think affects your diet most: Money, Time or Country?

I am single, eating a healthy diet, and live in Los Angeles. I am amazed to see where my weekly expenditure fits in. Where does your weekly eating fit in? Just curious.

What do you get out of these pictures? Please share your comments.

Enjoy,

Jeanne

  4. I love your comparison. Hopefully, Americans will wake up (naw, forget it. The one’s that understand are already doing it.)

    Also, I think another comparison could be percentage of income per week for food versus income per week. $1.23 might be a greater percentage of their income than the family who spent $500.07.

    Regardless, this is a great illustration.

  5. You realize it would take 14 earths for every person living right now to live like an ‘american’.

    Stratification is needed Mr. Tripkit, maybe you should wake up from your bullshit dream world.
