This is somewhat contriving IMO... Only Germany is proud to display the liquor consumption....although knocking back 4 bottles of red and 24pk of beers a week is a hell of a feat. But it is by far my most preferred table. And then there is France...

CAT...it's what's for dinner.

Can you please delete the picture of Canada? That Canadian bacon is disgusting.

Interesting link, thanks.

The British family seem to have come from the 70s.

And that Turkish Grandma will never eat that whole plate, with just one tooth!

You have to click, "show more" to see the rest, but I do find the photo captions very useful. I'll put that link up top. Thanks

Yea it's a bit of a pain. Can't believe a family of 6 in Chad lives off $1.23 a week.

We Aussies do love our meat!

That it's be pretty old.... In the photos there are 2 cartons of cigarettes.... And everyone knows we're not allowed to smoke anymore....

I saw this a few months ago- so shocking and interesting. I think the family with the most spend was te German family. It's quite a cool concept thougt, I want to get that book

[AndrewNR]

Yeah don't think it's a very recent snap shot, But its a very interesting one none the least.

[Zigatoh]

If the pics are anything to go by then the book is going to be complete stereotypical bs as well. And why in gods name does the brit family of four need at least 24 pints of milk in a week? But only booze is one bottle of wine... Yeah that's the norm alright!

[Fuzz AI]

Yep, definitely stereotypical Aussie family from the 70's. Nobody smokes Longbeach or Winnie Blues nowadays...
