(The Revis family from North Carolina, Food expenditure for one-week: $341.98)
Photographer, Peter Menzel, captures what dinner looks like for families from all walks of life, from Africa to good ol’ North Carolina, USA. He photographs the families in their kitchens, with their groceries for that week, including any take-out meals. Menzel captured the portraits for the book “Hungry Planet”.
The photo series is extremely interesting. If you were asked what you thought a family from China ate, or a family from the USA, you might have some stereotypes in mind. This photo series breaks some of those stereotypes while enforcing others, making for some really fascinating photos.
