Very interesting and eye- opening to see the differences in consumption and variety of food around the world. Of course some of these things i have never seen and could not identify even though I am fairly well traveled.

Yup, seen this before, it is very interesting. Notice how much packaged foods Americans eat. No wonder why we have terrible obesity, diabetes, rates of colon cancer, and heart disease.

Never mind that, notice how much wine and beer the Germans drink. For a family with only two adults, they apparently drink four bottles of wine and 20 bottles of beer in one week.

Notice how the Japanese and Germans had the least amount of people smiling in the picture

It would have been interesting to see these pictures just 30 years ago. I bet you would not have seen half the boxed and ready to eat food.

That U.S. picture is just terrible and cringe worthy, but how exactly is Pizza Hut, McDonalds, and Burger King groceries?

I really don't think that the Canadian segment was a good representation at all. They chose a place that is so NOT mainstream that I've never even HEARD of it. I googled it -- it's pretty much an Inuit fishing village. Not a good representation at all, at all, at all, and not only because I don't buy any of the food that was listed.
