What the world eats, a weeks worth of groceries around the world

And how much soda and processed food we in "developed" countries consume! Sad.
 
I had seen this or something similar a few years back. Really an eye opener.
 
I wonder if that's what that particular family eats in a week, or if it's the average diet of that country in a week?
 
It turns out this is from a book called Hungry Planet and it's from 2007.

Here's more about it in Time. They give the amount spent by each family and their favorite foods. I'm amazed at how much some people spent per week, considering how old this is. Their weekly food bill is more than I spend in a month. At the other end, $1.23 a week is pretty shocking.
