Hungry Planet: What the world Eats by Peter Menzel

I was surfing the web and I found this interesting article about eating culture of some countries around the world, is a photojournalist work by the photographer Peter Menzel and the writter Faith D' Alusio, they portrayed 30 families in 24 countries of every continent
The contrast fact is really interesting, it seems to me that developed countries eat more junk and process food than underdeveloped ones.
Despite of poverty of some underdeveloped ones, they consume low-cost products and more healthy products, that makes me wonder about the real human development, every day is more clear to me that economical development is not link to human human development .. maybe economical development makes us decrease in some human aspects.
