Hungry Planet: What the World Eats

Truly fascinating, and particularly relevant as we enter the holiday season and balance the realities of our economic situation.

Among the revelations in this remarkable book is that the French consume equal amounts of calories as Americans. Their obesity rate, however, is far lower. One documented difference? They consume more alcohol and smoke more cigarettes. Hmph.

I LOVE THIS BOOK! Truly amazing what the world eats. A fascinating read for foodies and non-foodies alike. Check it out!

this is one of the best books i've ever read. it has great photos and some really interesting text. i borrowed this from the library, but liked it so much that i'm going to buy it.
