Today I received an email from a SustainaBundy movie night attendee that includes some very arresting photos from a 2005 book called "Hungry Planet: What the World Eats." Here's part of the description from NPR: "The husband-and-wife team (photographer Peter Menzel and writer Faith D'Aluisio) wanted to see how globalization, migration and rising affluence are affecting the diets of communities around the globe. Each chapter of their book features a portrait of a family, photographed alongside a week's worth of groceries. There's also a detailed list of all the food and the total cost." Check out these links to see the photos and learn more. Note how much of the food is processed, packaged and imported.
