Be thankful...

I received a very interesting email, a few weeks ago. And I think it is worth to share.
The photos are amazing, and really do captured ones imaginations. I have to say, kudos to who ever created this email. It is such an eye opener.

Photography is not only show how pretty the people is or how pompous the view is. It is also a nice tool to realize the truth of our world.

This is undoubtedly one of the most interesting e-mails I've ever received. Take a good look at the diet of each country and the cost of what is eaten in one week.


Germany : The Melander family of Bargteheide
Food expenditure for one week: 375.39 Euros or $500.07

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
