that's really interesting - would love to have dinner with that Indian family!
The USA photo is depressing, but I don't know if that reflects a majority of families.

I'm moving to Germany!

There is no way that is right. Way to many beverages in almost all the pictures. Mexico must be in diabetic shock, there is enough Coke there for them each to drink 2L a day, plus enough beer for the adults to drink 3 a day.

Great Brittan appears to each drink a half a gallon of milk a day.

In the US...they must eat out every day. I see KFC, Burger King, McDonalds, Pizza at least once, and Taco Bell.

Australia looks legit, nice ballanced meals and a lot of water.

Germany does as well, but dang, that is a lot of liquids again.

The rest of them are pretty good. Although, I would say that at least my household looks more like Canada than the US. Perhaps being in MN that is close enough.

Very scientific I'm sure. But it's neat to see some of the regional variances...which probably hold some amount of truth.

makes you realize that we live longer because of our access to health care...sure as heck not by the food we eat.

Live longer? I don't think so (and our access to health care completely sucks compared to much of the world).

sorry, I should have clarified I was looking at the food of the 'less developed' countries and it looks far better than what we eat.

ranking 33rd on that list is horrible compared to 193rd
it would seem to actually prove your point, eh ?


course, if one removes fatal injuries from the above ranking, the united states moves to the top of the list



then within the health care comparison itself are the type of health care -if you are in the uninsured or Medicaid group ercieving health care in emergency rooms and with minimal frequency you're likely to live a shorter life and less likely to survive an event.
