Haunting, essential and beautiful March 31, 2008
This book should, in my opinion, be assigned reading for everyone in so-called first world countries. What the author manages to accomplish is nothing short of remarkable- chronicling one week of food consumption in a number of families around the world. The text is well-written and informative, but it's the photographs that speak the loudest. To compare the weekly food consumption of a US or German family with that of a Sudanese or Mongolian family is haunting and recalibrates what we take for granted. Highly recommended.
Hungry Planet March 23, 2008
Excellent book... showing how, what, and why we eat what we do.. Interesting the vast differences between countries and peoples. Made me appreaciate what I have...
what a fascinating book March 17, 2008
I love, love, love this book. The photos of real families standing in front of a week's worth of food make me feel as if I know these people. For all our differences, humans everywhere need food. This book is the next best thing to sitting down to a meal with people all over the world.
 Eye opening February 14, 2008
This book really opened my eyes as to what the world is eating (and not eating).
Great book January 7, 2008
Well-written book, a sobering look at what the world eats, and a wake-up call for better nutrition for most of the "developed" world.
