What do ordinary people from around the world eat

Peter Menzel is an American photographer and traveler. His last project was the book “What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Lunches”. In it, he describes and shows what the most ordinary people around the world eat - from yoga to fashion models. The most amazing thing is what kind of different people live on our planet. Their daily diet is affected by the profession, culture, customs and, of course, the standard of living. And the difference in caloric intake of food in different parts of the world is simply enormous - from 800 kcal to 12300 kcal per day!
