Re: what do you eat in 1 week?
I'm blow away by the excesses of some of those families (yeah, that alcohol is a lot for two adults, one teen and a pre-teen), but even more so by those who live on much less.
Egypt: The Ahmed family of Cairo
Food expenditure for one week: 387.85 Egyptian Pounds or $68.53
12 people, and none of them look like they are hurting for nutrition.
Ecuador: The Ayme family of Tingo
Food expenditure for one week: $31.55
9 people, and they look healthy as well.
Bhutan: The Namgay family of Shingkhey Village
Food expenditure for one week: 224.93 ngultrum or $5.03
12 people, only one elderly lady looks to be on the thin side, and I'm sure she could eat more if she wanted to.
Chad: The Aboubakar family of Breidjing Camp
Food expenditure for one week: 685 CFA Francs or $1.23
That family of six looks thin, but the boy on the right looks healthy. Imagine how healthy they could all look on only $2.00/week.
I should keep track of what me and my husband consume for a week. I can guarantee that it won't include half of the beer and wine consumed by that German family.
