Moment of Zen:
This picture, of a family from Bhutan, is part of a photo series of families from around the world and a week's food for them, from the book
Hungry Planet: What the World Eats by Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio. Click the picture to see a number of other examples from around the world from Germany to Sudanese refugees in a camp in Chad, with a whole lot in between. It's interesting not just to see how much food and cost, but also what's included.
