Okay not to start a war or anything buuuut... Yikes, not even a single vegetabe in the US one o.O

Couldn't they have a chosen a better representation of a week of US groceries?

There are--on the counter are some grapes and tomatoes. but, yeah, very few of those and a lotof fast food (I include pizza in this).

Interesting. Especially when you look at the much smaller pile for the family in Chad.

If I were to guess a Portuguese one, I'd probably be similar to the Italian one, but with less bread, more fish and UK levels of junk food

Seeing that makes me think  :-\ A lot of the countries have too much less than the US does.

Aye, inequalities between the western world and developing nations are staggering :\

And it certainly seems some of those families are happier than others. Notice those that seem to be smiling or having a good time vs. those that don't?

Interestingly enough.. Both the Chad and Mali pictures suggest they're not unhappy with their lot in life.

Edit: Well, maybe just Chad.. but even so..

Some are decent. I'd still prefer a local mom and pop shop's pizza though. :)

The smiling in some cases could be a cultural thing, too.

The best Pizza I ever had comes from a restaurant that really doesn't inspire a lot of confidence... but man... do they make good Pizza

I live 20 minutes from New Haven, CT which is world famous for their pizza. So famous in fact, there's a wikipedia page about it. There's actually a Pepe's branch in my hometown. It's so good! Om nom nom

LOL, living in Boston and knowing many people from the CT-NJ-NY area, I have heard so much about Pepe's but still never been. I really need to fix that.

That's like their signature pizza, but I usually just get the pepperoni and mushroom.

I still say the Mexican Pizza I ate on that restaurant was awesome!  ;D

This the best pizza that I personally have ever had:

True. I hadn't really considered that. I guess my point was that it didn't seem faked. *shrug*
