What is eaten in one week around the world. (Pass Along)

Hi Folks!
Here is a great email that I received a couple of days ago, very thought provoking especially around Thanksgiving time.
I just ordered the book that it was based off of, which is "What the World Eats" as I think it's good to have around the house just to have my children have a good understanding of the world around them.
Hope you find it as interesting as I did. Feel free to pass it along, and perhaps by passing it along it could do a lot of good virally. I'm always interested to see how these emails can proliferate, so feel free to put me in the cc column if you do.
I hope each and everyone of you have a fantastic Thanksgiving and wish you and your families best wishes as we enter this holiday season.
The email actually comes from a book called "What the World Eats"
Here was a news article on the book:
Thanks for passing that email along, very thought provoking.
