Here's an interesting exert from an email I received yesterday (I think it may have originally been an article in Time Magazine). Not only is the amount of money each family spends on food very interesting so is the make up of their diets, and the number of people they are feeding....
Germany: The Melander family of Bargteheide
Food expenditure for one week: 375.39 Euros or $500.07
United States: The Revis family of North Carolina (Sure hope most American
families eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and less junk food than this family.)
Food expenditure for one week $341.98
�
Italy: The Manzo family of Sicily
Food expenditure for one week: 214.36 Euros or $260.11
