Thought you might be interested in this: What the world eats

"What's on family dinner tables in fifteen different homes around the globe?"

Coke seems to feature in a lot of homes - but in greater quantities in some homes than others ;)

    Out of all them the most appealing to me and healthiest looking was the family from Scicily! Lol the American one is exactly what you expect it to be!

    Yeah, I liked the way it depicted lots of fruit, veg and grains, but also a few bottles of soft drink showing that it can all be done in moderation.

    I really liked the look of the Egyptian one too, the little basket of peaches looked delicious :yum:

    Lol I see the Americans live up to expectations... McDonalds, Burger King, Take away Pizza, Coca Cola, bags of crisps, Budweiser and Capri Sun.

    Could you get anymore cliche?

    Shit, that's a bit scary really.

    The GB one didn't look too great, not many fruit and veg :(

    Since when is there fat in coke?

    I liked the last one, the Germans. As long as that was all real 100% fruit juice and not concentrate or sugar stuff, I want to be part of their family. They had so much! :yum:

    It's term used here to mean normal Coke i.e not Diet Coke because too many calories will make you fat.

    They look suprisingly like Turkey Twizzlers on the British plate :p

    I think the Japanese looks the best and possibly the healthiest. :thumb:

    Interesting.

    Also interesting was to compare the (over) packaging of foods in some countries compared to others.

    You would be surprised at the number of people who don't notice-I ordered vodka and cock all night on a pub crawl for a bet once, and hardly anyone even picked up on it :D
