  • Late New Year’s thoughts

    Some time ago I saw on the Internet a few pictures from the book “Hungry Planet: What the World Eats” by Peter Menzel and Faith D’Aluisio. They traveled around the world and had a look at the dining tables of people in various countries. In each country they visited a family and photographed their entire week’s ration…
