"I Measure Out My Life in Coffee Spoons"

--T.S. Eliot, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"

In his comment on my last post, Dave linked to a fascinating photo essay that shows 15 families surrounded by the food each family eats in one week. I have a couple of observations:

1. I thought the Japanese ate a lot of packaged foods until I saw the family from North Carolina.
2. The Egyptians, Mongolians, and those from Bhutan seem to eat pretty healthfully.
3. Those Mexicans love them some Coca-Cola! But their beverage consumption is nothing compared to the Germans, I tell you.

I pictured me entering a photo of Allison Clare into the series, with her paddling around in a little vat of milk.
