Who's Hungry Now?


This thought-provoking photo essay examines the eating habits of families around the world. Photographer Peter Menzel makes the point using, not words, but photos of families surrounded by their food for one week. Food for a six-person Sudanese family fleeing Darfur and now living at a refugee camp in Chad costs about $1.23 a week; on the other end of the spectrum, a German family spends more than $500 to feed their family of four each week.
