review 1: Eye opening. This book dates back to 2007 so while it isn't totally outdated, the price of food has increased over the past seven years.It is incredible to see the amount of processed and packaged food the Western world eats compared to other parts of the world. You can see it reflected in our health statistics too. One takeaway from this book is that as we have increased wealth, we are less physically active, and hence need less food but we just keep on eating......
review 2: This was very interesting. The author identifies a country/region, places it on the world map, and asks a representative family to identify a typical meal plan for the week. The photographer takes a photo of the family with one week's food and the author lists the weekly food items plus t... morehe cost. Recipes are also included. This book makes comparing/contrasting communities and needs/wants in social studies. It's especially timely during holiday celebrations in upper elementary or intermediate grades. less
