I was amazed by the places where they are feeding huge families on almost no money. Comparing how much pre-packaged food we eat in the US to places like Bhutan where almost everything is home grown was really enlightening. It seems unfortunate to me that our Western way of eating is seen as normal, with our tons of soda and everything full of sugar, salt, and preservatives. Recommended by Lauren B. Twenty-plus families from countries around the world provide a lens to examine different eating and cooking practices around the world, from a refugee camp in Chad to Mongolia, Greenland, Australia, and more. Each family is photographed surrounded by a week's worth of food; there are facts about each region, a map highlighting each country's location, many captioned photographs, family recipes, and photographer's field notes. There are also photo galleries of different kitchens, street food, fast food, meals, and fish; there are statistics on annual meat consumption, fertility rate, literacy rate, population (% urban), and area in square miles. In short, this is an in-depth look at a topic of vital importance to everyone on the planet: food - how much it costs, what kind is available, how it's grown and cooked. Back matter includes further reading, sources, and index. This is a compelling book following up previous works by Menzel, who travels the world creating photo essays. In this collection, Menzel and D'Aluisio look at the food consumption habits of people from around the world. Progressing from least calories to most calories, they show each person or family with their daily allotment of food, ranging from a few handfuls of grains and beans to extravagant table settings. Not only does this book portray the variety of foods from around the world, it also shows the immense scale difference between those who have little and those who have much. I loved this book. It was fascinating. The author traveled around the world and took pictures of people in their kitchens with their entire pantry spread around them and then discussed the family. Some kitchens were familiar enough - Australia, Great Britain, and even Saudi Arabia. Others were very foreign such as the refugee camp in Africa (and that was very sad)and some Asian countries. I had fun picking out the food brands I knew from the pictures (and was often surprised). Highly recommended. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Verlagsinfo: Im April 2005 zeigte GEO die Fotos des amerikanischen Fotografen Peter Menzel, der für sein von GEO unterstütztes Buchprojekt 30 Familien in 24 Ländern aufsuchte und sie mit dem fotografierte, was sie in einer Woche satt macht. Das Buch erschien ebenfalls bei GEO. Es ist ein Folgeprojekt des 2001 erschienen Bestsellers "So lebt der Mensch" für das unter der Leitung von Peter Menzel und seiner Frau Faith D'Aluisio Familien rund um die Welt mit ihrem gesamten Hab und Gut fotografiert wurden. Mit "So isst der Mensch" haben Peter Menzel und Faith D'Aluisio zum zweiten Mal eine globale Bestandsaufnahme zur Lebenssituation der Weltfamilie vorgelegt. Beim ersten Projekt ging es um den materiellen Besitz und in diesem Projekt um Kopf und Bauch und Seele. Es zeigt was Menschen in Bosnien und Bhutan, in Mexiko und in die Mongolei brauchen, um eine Woche lang satt zu werden. Eine gewaltige Agrarindustrie, Massentourismus und Globalisierung führen zu einer Vermischung und Angleichung der Lebensmittelkultur rund um den Globus. Und dennoch offenbart sich in dem, was die Menschen essen, noch immer viel von ihrer Geschichte, ihrer Eigenart, ihrer sozialen Situation. Wir sind, was wir essen: im Hunger ebenso wie im Überfluss.
