Trekking the globe through food staples and grocery lists

Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day but it is dinner that allows family to come together to share stories and discuss the latest in current affairs, the latest science project, mom’s gossip and your dad’s day at work, and that’s important.

Dinner and its balanced diet is quite standard the world over, with your basic food groups being meats and/or fish, vegetables and carbohydrates in rice, bread and/or pasta, you could quite easily circumspect the globe and make a vast generalization as to what people the world over eat on a daily basis. But, that is not what we are doing today. Today, we are going to embrace the differences in our respective cultures and toast a toast to our cultural diversities and celebrate the only thing worth celebrating over… food. But, to be more specific we are celebrating dinner and what people normally gather round to chat and catch up over.

So instead of boring you with yet another write up of things you generally would consider as inconclusive, I am going to introduce you to Photographer Peter Menzel and his take on food photography and its current trends. Seems most people the world over are obsessed with taking pictures of their food.

Well, with Menzel, he explores the fascination with people and their food by exploring the both the cultural differences of diet and investigating how prosperity and poverty influence the way we consume produce. Please See Below:-
