Hambre: ¿Qué come el mundo?

Recibí una selección de fotos de un artículo publicado por la Revista Time sobre el libro "Hungry Planet: What the world eats" de Peter Menzel, que me parece muy interesante y a la vez conmovedor ya que se puede apreciar en forma gráfica las costumbres alimenticias de diferentes familias a lo largo del mundo y a la vez, la magia que tienen que hacer en algunos casos para sobrevivir con pocos recursos.

Este es un resumen del Artículo:
