Interesting but I'm quite sure there is some mistakes and even more that it is not the "average". What is your source?

 

[DruSam]

Very cool. But I'd say the comparisons are a bit wonky since their are different sizes of family.

I'm pretty sure that was in Time magazine, can't remember...

 

[barman]

Yeah, I think so too. Time or Life magazine.

Also, someone mentioned family size earlier. Good point. But the family size in the pictures are average for that particular country.

I hate when people complain about what people get paid to work for in other countries. Those people from Chad spend 1.23 a week on food for their entire family. Liberals complain that they only make 85 cents a day. Well all 6 family members probably work and food is their only bill. They live in a tent (rent free) and don't have a car payment. They probably have one of those big alhambra water jugs stashed in their tent full of change to the tune of 10 years salary. I can't even afford to save one damn dime- fuck those rich nigerian bastards.

Looks like the average German meal has a bit of booze in it... I don't think this can be very accurate either. Costs about $250-300 a week for my family, from Australia.

You're right. They had it the other way around.

Where are the ramen noodles?

Interesting post.

It's sad what the family in Chad has to live off.

What strikes me is the amount of processed food the UK people have on their table and the tiny amount of fresh fruit and veg in comparison to others - they even included their pet food.

Have a look at all the packaging for 'developed' countries... thats fucking amazing!
