Eat To Live or Live to Eat?

In a world becoming smaller and more globalized, cultural, socio-economical differences and not growing smaller.  In the beginning of the 21st century the images from photographer Peter Menzel strike a tangible cord.  In this work, titled: "Hungry Planet: What the world eats",  Menzel went around the world to take photos of families and all they eat in a week. While some spend hundreds of dollars a week, some spend as little as a $1.23............   It makes a deep impression...........
