Response to Hungry Planet photos

I think the photographer does a good job of showing how in different parts of the world the accessibility of food for people.  The availability of food is very prevalent in first world countries especially because the quantity is so large compared to the family size, while in the third world countries the amount of food for a larger family is substantially smaller.  Even just the place the food is displayed is significantly different.  More first world families are in homes with a kitchen that has a sitting area with some sort of a table.  The food presented is more processed, cooked or baked and there is more packaged.  The lower class or impoverished families are seen outside with maybe only a mat or a pot just sitting on the ground containing the food.  The food that they have is mostly raw grains.  Also it just shows the different tastes in each parts of the world.
