Peter Menzel Photography

Menzel's collection of photos show a significant different in the eating patterns around the world. These images show how the rest of the world eats more exotic and non manufactured food. Many pictures show animals that have been prepared for eating although they may not look prepared to the typical American eye. One can also induce that the poorer the country is then the less amount of food they will consume in a week. Most of this food is cultivated off the land on farms and fields. Where as one when one looks at the picture of the American family they see a completely different trend than that of the other pictures. The American family eats a significant amount more and less healthy which is usually associated with America. He is trying to show the difference between the rest of the world and America, and how American's need to change their eating habits as well as their consumption rate.
