That last one makes me sad.

iPear on Jan 18 '08 at 10:59am

The family from mexico drinks a ridiculous amount of Soda.

mezo on Jan 18 '08 at 11:01am

Whoah.

I wanna go to the Egypt's people's house for dinner.

phones on Jan 18 '08 at 11:02am

i want those American pizzas!!

ekaj47 on Jan 18 '08 at 11:02am

i like the german and mexican family foods and beers!

iPear on Jan 18 '08 at 11:03am

I like how the larger families have proportionately less food than most of the smaller families.

aleitos on Jan 18 '08 at 11:04am

actually.. my city in mexico, monterrey is the city that drinks more coke in the hole world!

... and.. the irony.. i hate coke..

mmmmmmmmmm TORTILLAS RULES!

travis76 on Jan 18 '08 at 11:06am

fuck i don't eat that much fruit or veg in a year.

squeegebeckenheim on Jan 18 '08 at 11:07am

I can't fathom spending $500 a week on food.

travis76 on Jan 18 '08 at 11:08am

i spend like $120 every two weeks on groceries, but then i eat out waaaaaaay too much.

melhel86 on Jan 18 '08 at 11:09am

My FI and I spend less than $500 A MONTH on groceries. Not much on going out either. We don't starve. WTF.

canadianbeaver on Jan 18 '08 at 11:10am

The Germans look miserable but the Ecuadorans look happy.

iDanSimpson on Jan 18 '08 at 11:11am

I want that hang with those Mexicans! damn, i'm hungry now.

canadianbeaver on Jan 18 '08 at 11:12am

Also looks like the Germans spend about $100 on booze

ekaj47 on Jan 18 '08 at 11:12am

i dont have room in my studio apartment for most of those peoples foods

travis76 on Jan 18 '08 at 11:12am

the ecuadorans are probably the healthiest of the bunch too.

damn, all those people eat better than me.

that shit looks GOOD. i want veggies now. where can i get a big bag of beans and shit?

travis76 on Jan 18 '08 at 11:13am

dude those mexican kids are fat 'cause of all that damn coke.

travis76 on Jan 18 '08 at 11:13am

this has been a great public service, helo

iPear on Jan 18 '08 at 11:14am

man, I'm just blown away by the ridiculous volume of beverages some people consume in a week. I freaking get murdered if we finish a box of soda in less than seven days...

canadianbeaver on Jan 18 '08 at 11:15am

Bhutan Bunch: 12

Brady Bunch: 4

mezo on Jan 18 '08 at 11:16am

We shop at a fancy city market. I get food from there about 4 days a week and spend, on average, $35 each trip. So that's......about $560! Whoah!

Back in Alabama, I'd go shopping once a week & spend $80. $320 a month roughly.

Damn.

I am more surprised at how long it too me to multipy those numbers than the actual food spending we're doing.

canadianbeaver on Jan 18 '08 at 11:18am

oops... Bhutan Bunch 13... She had a baby when I wasn't looking

iPear on Jan 18 '08 at 11:18am

for like 6 weeks last summer, my mom gave me 1200 dollars for groceries for like 3 people, and I spent about 160 weekly. But also, there were times where my dad would take us out to lunch, so I guess we'd be spending..... I want to say like 250 a week. But the cool thing was, I totally pocketed an extra 40 bucks every week, t'was sweet.

aleitos on Jan 18 '08 at 11:19am

I think the germans are angry because their mom made them put their food strategically order in type, size, amount of calories...

mezo on Jan 18 '08 at 11:19am

What are those green bowling balls on Egypt's table?

mezo on Jan 18 '08 at 11:19am

The Germans are angry because we mock the 'hoff.

iPear on Jan 18 '08 at 11:20am

the germans aren't angry, the kid with the hair just is a disciplinary issue, and his/her parents can't kick his ass in front of the camera people.

aleitos on Jan 18 '08 at 11:20am

jjaja it�s a kind of chili!

in my country it�s call chile morr�n

it�s great to spicy meat, chiken, and you can fill it with a lot of stuff..

ground meat, rice, egg salad

mad cat on Jan 18 '08 at 11:21am

Amazing!!!

I find it interesting how few fresh veggies and food that the americans have.

travis76 on Jan 18 '08 at 11:21am

those germans are fucking COLD. they look like they didn't even want to stand beside each other, but were told to because even the poorer starving families did.

aleitos on Jan 18 '08 at 11:21am

tuna, cheese...

mezo on Jan 18 '08 at 11:22am

DIBS on the Taco Bell pizza!

travis76 on Jan 18 '08 at 11:22am

LOL at the m&m bag hidden behind some fruit.

iPear on Jan 18 '08 at 11:22am

Just looking at that kid makes me want to bitch slap him/her in rewind.

aleitos on Jan 18 '08 at 11:22am

ahhh you meant the BIG ones...!

they�re sandias

i think in english is.. watermelon..

aleitos on Jan 18 '08 at 11:24am

Are the italian familie flirting with us???!!!

=o

iPear on Jan 18 '08 at 11:24am

I wonder if in some of the countries, the children are considered a form of sustenance...

phoenixphire24 on Jan 18 '08 at 11:24am

I can't say that I eat as much produce as some of the other couteries, but I certainly don't eat like that American family either. That is SO much fast food. Gross.

canadianbeaver on Jan 18 '08 at 11:25am

The Polish daughter on the couch looks like a nice, happy person.

aleitos on Jan 18 '08 at 11:26am

yea.. but the polish food don�t have color...

the room don�t have color..

i can�t eat something that hasn�t color on it..

pyr4lis on Jan 18 '08 at 11:26am

You know the American Family is the only one with any fast food or take out of the whole bunch.

Personally I think that Italy's food looks the most delicious out of everyones. All those super fresh veggies and fruits and all that yummy fresh baked bread.

mezo on Jan 18 '08 at 11:27am

Are you Egyptian, aleitos? Can you walk like one? Teehee.

canadianbeaver on Jan 18 '08 at 11:27am

LOL behind the blue elephant in the Polish pic, there is a stack of dog food. Does that count?

mezo on Jan 18 '08 at 11:29am

LOL @ the stuffed elephant

aleitos on Jan 18 '08 at 11:29am

hahahahahahahaha

hahaha

Kogepan on Jan 18 '08 at 11:30am

Wow, the American family has a hate for fruits and veggies. Mmm, processed food.

helo on Jan 18 '08 at 11:30am

Ha ha ha ha iPear on Jan 18 '08 at 11:24am

I wonder if in some of the countries, the children are considered a form of sustenance...

canadianbeaver on Jan 18 '08 at 11:31am

Now don't be laughing at the stuffed elephant... that's part of a well rounded, high fiber diet.

melhel86 on Jan 18 '08 at 11:33am

that is a helluva lot a carrots that Polish family is downing in one week.

That american family ate a lot of fast food. I understand ordering a pizza now and again and grabbing something to eat but come on even they stuff they cook came out of a can! They do have two teenage boys though.

mezo on Jan 18 '08 at 11:33am

Those Texas bread garlic toasts are DELICIOUS.
