This is exactly why we, the USA have an obese/overweight epidemic.

great thread!0

wish I could see the pics0
-
Huge differences! OP, might be wise to post a link to where you got the pics0
-
Nothing like generalizing.
I mean sure, that's a weeks worth for some families. But not all. I don't think my family ever had that much for a full week, and I still got fat. Add in lots of beer.0 -
Yeah..this is stereotypical..:\0
-
I could live in India and Italy. As much as I love France...well...I see I'd surely lose weight living there LOL! This was really interesting!0
-
WOW. Just looking at what each person has and the amounts they have is really eye opening.0
-
Funny how only the Germans own up to drinking alcohol. I would expect some wine in an Italian household, and more than one bottle in the French one...
Great thread btw :-)0 -
Cool pictures.Where are they from?
I hope Canada washed the table after putting a fresh fish on it, hahah.
I think the obesity epidemic isn't just a product of what we eat. But the fact that so many people eat like the USA picture (and other countries pictures too) shows and doesn't move.0 -
Go Canada! Milk bags FTW!0
-
Oh sorry, your right. Here is the link. Thanks

WOW...very interesting !!0

Notice the USA has a lot of prepared food items, the other ones have more fruit & veg. How can that one family exist on so little food in that one pic???? but the family is very thin - the ones that have hardly anything.0
-
bumps for later0
-
Lovely post. I thought the Great Britain weekly shop would match that of the USA's average family. It's quite surprising how different they both are.0
-
That is really cool. I also noticed that Mexico has a lot more pop than I expected. Maybe part of the reason obese rate is about the same as ours. Tons of fast food in the USA scary to think that, but we are a country of convenience.0
-
They eat cats in France?! :noway:0
-
This seems like a ton of food for a week (not counting Chad, of course) . Do most families really eat a whole sack of grains every week? That's nutty. I didn't realize how healthy I'd been eating until looking at these. Go, me!0
-
Like the way the Britsh include their pets food, lol. Have to say only the apples and eggs of the things in their average weekly shop ever appear on my shopping list though. Even my animals eat better than theirs...
But a thought provoking and entertaining post, thank you.0 -

Great thread btw :-)
I noticed that - and the British family only have one bottle of wine sneakily lurking on the matlepiece.....yeah, right! Are trips to the pub not included?0
