Let’s say someone asked you to collect everything you plan to eat and drink today and take a picture. How would that look like? And what difference would your age, ethnicity, occupation, education, social class would make on how the picture would look like?<\/p>\n
The NY times reports on a very interesting project <\/a>: Peter Menzel <\/a>and Faith D\u2019Alusio<\/a> (a photographer and a writer) travelled around the world and asked people to do just that! The result? A book, called “What I eat: Around the world in 80 diets. <\/a>Along with the pictures, there is also a calorie count, ranging from 800 to 12,300 (yes, per day). Pictures of the book are now exhibited in the Museum of Science in Boston<\/a> and are certainly thought provoking. Food is something essential for our survival, something we have to think of every day. Some people don’t really have a choice over what the eat, as they struggle to survive. Others have a vast choice and what they choose in the end might be the result of dozens of different factors, ranging from personal taste to financial status and from education to advertisement.<\/p>\n The International Journal of Public Health<\/a> regularly publishes papers on nutrition (recent examples here <\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>) , so we are interested to learn your opinion on the picture project mentioned below! Did it make you think how would your <\/em>picture look like and why? Did it, perhaps, make you go and get a similar picture of yourself? (if you did, please do share!). I’m quite tempted to do one myself!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let’s say someone asked you to collect everything you plan to eat and drink today and take a picture.
