    Grin One week's worth of groceries

    I thought this photo essay on what people around the world buy to eat each week was very interesting. On that note, I would encourage you to take a similar picture, or maybe a picture of what's in your fridge - like instagram, but with raw ingredients instead of individual prepared meals. Yes.

    I think you all would be bored by a picture of a freezer full of frozen pizza.

    I can't do this because I don't shop for a whole week at a time.

    I could probably get a copy/paste of one of the bigger shops we've done, but I don't think I could get together a picture. It wouldn't really be a week's food, either... just what we needed at the time.

    I saw this a little back and thought it was such an excellent way to see the differences in how people eat. I wish there were more photos from each country though to get a broader representation.

    I'll try and do this after my next big shopping run. Although it won't be a super accurate look since I'm currently not eating any processed food, grains, or sugar.

    Shopping for a whole week isn't fun. I hate planning what to eat, and I really enjoy picking up whatever I feel like when I'm shopping.

    Although, my inner librarian is twitching. Why do you need three cartons of eggs? Why isn't everything neatly organized?

    Don't care how many grams of protein are in it, if that protein didn't come from an animal it is inferior.

    I don't understand vegetarians and vegans who eat fake meat. What's the point of eating fake meat if you don't want to eat meat? Tofu itself, I can understand, as tofu is yummy. But tofurky? Come on.
