20+ pics of different families from around the world and what they spend for groceries. Pics show each family along with their weekly groceries including take-out in some cases, along with how much they spend.

VERY interesting and enlightening.

One example:



Britain: The Bainton family of Cllingbourne Ducis spend £155 on their weekly food shop. They list their favourite foods as avocado, prawn cocktail and chocolate fudge cake with cream

Another example:



Chad, North Africa: The Aboubakar family from Darfur, Sudan, spend £37 a week on food to feed six people

Filipinos eat that in one day comparing that to the British family.
Well at least my in-laws do.

 

Interesting comparisons. At least they would be if they were accurate and up-to-date. But this is a re-hashed story from at least 10 years ago, using photographs that are even older. The hairstyle/tash/clothes of the California family look very 60s/70s and the picture of the British family certainly looks 80s/90s. This article being offered by the Mail on Line is journalistic plagiarism, as it was previously published, some years ago, by the Sunday Times. The Mail on Line is operated by the Daily Mail, a.k.a. The Daily Wail, a.k.a. The Daily Fail, a UK newspaper so obscure in its' views that it usually inserts trash just as column inch fillers. Their "journalists" are the type that have to write with charcoal and draw with crayons, under strict supervision, as they are not allowed to have sharp objects. It's probably the only paper in UK where you have to wash your hands after reading it, as the ink comes off the paper onto your clothes. It is best read when it is ripped into quarters, a piece of string thrust through the corner of the pages, and hanging up on the wall of the smallest room as an emergency supply. Jeez, they couldn't even spell Collingbourne Ducis correctly.

 

Aside from the objections of Broadside, I observed that people who have little to spend buy/eat healthier food....Now that's interesting!.

 

Your spot on Wrye, However the truth is most british families do use to much processed food.
Interesting the family is quoted as enjoying...avocado, prawn cocktail and chocolate fudge cake with cream. That is a typical resturant style night out for most people in UK, not an everyday food,if it was, we would have a Diabetes problem bigger than Philippines!

 

Hmmm. currently in wonderful Japan. We've been here last couple weeks. Had a serviced apartment in Shinjuku (downtown Tokyo) and now in Okinawa visiting son and family. Food prices in local restaurants - Tokyo and Okinawa, compared to Perth equivalents - about half the price - and ten times the service and quality. Supermarkets....around 2/3 the price of food in Perth....and quality and service again isn't on the same planet. We are getting rogered in Australia.....the prices we pay for food (much of which we now import) and for crap staff are astounding.
