A lot of the western families seemed pretty unreasonable with their food expenses.

You continue to try to slip in your racist posts in our forum.

Two American families represented and this is your post???

This will cease, now.

I don't know about the $242 pounds for an Australian family, a little higher than Canada ($220 pounds). I was in Oz a few months ago and their groceries and stuffs were expensive comparing to US prices.

Bhutan - $3.2 pounds for a week and feed over 10 people? Talk about low prices.

The Revis family's budget got me: $342 (roughly) PER WEEK? That's kind of nuts, no?

My girlfriend and I spend $400/month and we have tons of groceries. The first world diet is full of processed sugars, no wonder our hospital is full of diabetics.

That's insane. Must be either getting food stamps of the dad is rolling in the big bucks.

There has to be something going on. Without too much effort I managed to spend $60 for a week's worth of food (I just moved in to my apartment yesterday, so I expect that I'll get the bill down soon). Totally nuts.

The poor people's food looked healthier :^D

I'm sure that's true in some measure. The shoppers from more westernized countries appear to be buying many more ready-made items, so they're spending money to take the labor out of the chore of feeding the family. The shoppers who were spending the least were buying raw foods that will require a lot more labor to prepare. It's sort of the same trade-off the western nations have been making (and that other nations outside the "west" are increasingly making) since the industrial revolution.

Interesting comparison. It's nice to see that wherever they looked they could find large, happy families with what appears to be plenty on the table. That in itself illustrates the progress that has been made since the green revolution. People make a lot of comparisons between the diets of various cultures with respect to health, and I'm sure they are meaningful, but I prefer to focus on the fact that so many people who now have access to a varied and plentiful diet, ready to hand, were starving or eating the worst kind of garbage just a century ago. Burger King may not be the best food for your body, but you know what? It beats porridge and watered ale seven days a week.

Yea, you're only calculating for yourself and not a family? Comparatively, the Caven family from Cali spent ~$160 for their family of 4.

You have a point. I was just trying to demonstrate my own point, that with a little bit of effort you could take my budget and use it to feed 4 people while staying under that $342 that the Revis family spent.
