Description and Reviews
It's an inspired idea–to better understand the human diet, explore what culturally diverse families eat for a week. Among the families, we meet the Mellanders, a German household of five who enjoy cinnamon rolls, chocolate croissants, and beef roulades, and whose weekly food expenses amount to $500. We also encounter the Natomos of Mali, a family of one husband, his two wives, and their nine children, whose corn and millet-based diet costs $26.39 weekly. summarized from Amazon.com Authors
