“Around the World in 80 Diets”

Written by Pat's Papers | Thursday, 14 October 2010 10:46 AM

If it’s true, that you are what you eat, then we better figure out what type of food fills the plates of our neighbors around the world. The San Francisco Chronicle interviews a couple who set out to do just that in today’s paper. The husband/wife team that created the popular “Material World” coffee table book is behind “What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets” too. They crisscrossed the globe and took photos of 80 of the meals they shared, all of which are organized by calorie counts. The smallest daily influx of calories belongs to a Maasai herder who took in just 800 calories a day; the book ends with a British women who “binged on 12,300 calories” during the couple’s visit.
