That is cool.

I think my family's weekly intake mostly resembles Kuwait City....strange....

I think mine would probably most closely resemble the family in Cairo.

Did you notice the large amount of American products, and Coke/Pepsi in particular?

Fascinating. Thank you for posting the link.

Yes, ours is most like Cairo, too, if you omit the meat (we're vegetarian). Shocking how little fruit and veg most of the families in richer countries eat.

I was feeling quite smug about our healthier diet until I saw the English family in the feature

We don't all eat like that!

That was fascinating. I think my diet might be closest to the Polish family's, except with less chocolate.

I have Polish ancestry....yikes, that explains my love of chocolate....
