What the World Eats, written by Faith D'Aluisio, photographed by Peter MenzelEvery day, millions of families around the world gatherat the table or on the floor, in a house or outdoorsto eat together. Ever wondered what a typical meal is like on the other side of the world? Or next door? Cultural geographers Peter Menzel and Faith DAluisio visited twenty-five families in twenty-one countries to create this fascinating look at what people around the world eat in a week. Meet a family that spends long hours hunting for seal and fish together; a family that raises and eats guinea pigs; a family that drinks six gallons of Coca-Cola a week.

...A fascinating volume for browsing...useful for students in classes ranging from world cultures to economics to math to geography to current events.
I loved this book--its like
"Material World" only with food! I think that kids would find it very interesting to see the different kinds of foods typical families in other parts of the world eat. Four stars****
