link round-up

"What the world eats" was an article in a New York Times magazine. The slideshow shows families and the food they eat in one week. What I found interesting is the showcasing of brand names like Coca Cola (like building a little staircase out of Cola cups so if draws the eye). Every candy bar with a brand name was placed so you can read the full brand name. Brand names were also shown disproportionally to non-brand items: five bottle of Cola but one one big water container, even though the intake of fluids must have been a lot higher. I know it's not interesting to see that people around the world all drink water. But still.
I think I know how the photographer funded his travels!
And the German family was the only one not the only one with alcoholic beverages (beer and wine). You can see lots of alcohol in other photos, too. (thanks to [info]rattenmaus for the clarification)
