This photographic report exposes the proliferation of processed foods in the western diet and in the diets of many developing countries the world over. Is it any wonder that we are seeing increases in diet & lifestyle related diseases?

What are your thoughts?

i’ve seen some of these pictures before. it’s pretty shocking to see the differences between the various parts of the world. the people in Mali and Chad seem to have far less, and while they probably have healthier bodies from a disease standpoint due to their reliance on whole foods and lack of manufacturing and processed foods, malnourishment is a serious problem. contrast that with the abundance of food that is full of processed additives and chemicals in the better off countries and it’s hard to see how anyone has a good diet, regardless of where they live. 

s0o true.. i couldnt believe the poor countries like Mali and Chad live on.. it looks liek mostly grains??? i dont understand, why dont they unt or grow crops?? how do they live on such little food??

countries like that probably have serious water shortage problems. couple that with the fact that their hot climate probably isn’t conducive to growing a lot of different vegetables, and there you go. many people in those countries still live hunter/gatherer lifestyles, so it’s mostly whatever they can find as opposed to grow. they don’t have the agricultural infrastructure that the US or other mroe advanced countries have.

Wow, that is a really interesting link. Pete you bring up some tremendous points as well. It really is mind boggling how different we eat than most other countries

Just craziness… we really don’t appreciate the food we eat… think about the HUGE portions restaurants make… we end up throwing them AWAY while these other countries are starving.. It’s so mind boggling to think these cultures exist… hunter and gathers… WHAT??
 
It really makes you think how sheltered we are to the real world..
 
People don have water to grow crops while i take a 20 minute shower.. how awful
