A couple traveled the world exploring how the eating habits differ from country to country and presented their results in a photo album, called Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.
As it is very visual, you are directly confronted with obvious social issues. The album shows the differences around the world, the divison of lifestyles all across the globe. It is easy to see that, as a paradox, the more money we spend on food, the poorer the quality of that food is. People who spend more money on food it more processed products, while fresh and healthy ingredients never see their plate.
