Check out these pictures of families around the world - what they eat in 1 week and how much it costs... (As seen on White Skinned Goddess) I found it to be very interesting, especially with the rising cost of food. I wish I had the motivation to take a photo of The Harvey Family's weekly food consumption. I wonder what some of these families make with their food, it looks like they would have to be pretty creative or something. Lately our food storage situation has been on my mind alot and high on my priority list so if anyone has helpful ideas or knows affordable ways to stock up I would love to hear about them!!
Germany: The Melander family of Bargteheide
Food expenditure for one week: $500.07
United States: The Revis family of North Carolina
Food expenditure for one week: $341.98
Italy: The Manzo family of Sicily
Food expenditure for one week: $260.11
Mexico: The Casales family of Cuernavaca
Food expenditure for one week: $189.09
Poland: The Sobczynscy family of Konstancin-Jeziorna
Food expenditure for one week: $151.27
Egypt: The Ahmed family of Cairo
Food expenditure for one week: $68.53
Ecuador: The Ayme family of Tingo
Food expenditure for one week: $31.55
Bhutan: The Namgay family of Shingkhey Village
Food expenditure for one week: $5.03
Chad: The Aboubakar family of Breidjing Camp
Food expenditure for one week: $1.23
Did anyone else notice that in several of the photos the family's size increased but the amount of food & the cost decreased?

That is definately some food for thought. I have been thinking alot lately about stuff like this and it has really been on mind to try and do more to help the world. Maybe once we are living with you guys and have more time, me and you can get involved in a good cause.
P.S. THE SMOKE LIVES!!!
$500 FOR A WEEK!! We hardly spend anything close to that. Are we just poor? Is it because Caleb and Christopher eat peanut butter and honey sandwiches nearly every day for lunch?? LOL! Fun story. It really makes you think.
