Hungry Planet

The photography by Peter Menzel is an illustration of the gap between nations when it comes to food supply. Foreign nations are depicted as having to ration out a few bags of grain and some fruit for a whole week while American families have a plethora of meats, pizza, junk food and candy at their disposal anytime. People in other countries are forced to make do with rotten fruits, entire pigs, and whole fish as a meal. Although some of this is cultural and people of nations such as Japan are accustom to eating raw fish, it still shows how much of a devide there is between the availability of food around the world.
