---This is what a typical family in Kuwait eats in a week---The book Hungry Planet was featured in TIME Magazine. Hungry Planet's Photo Essay highlights what typical families around the world eat in a week. In this day and age, when issues like health care and obesity and quality of life are thrown about, it might be wise to see what humans put in their bodies. Some cultures have healthier eating habits than others, and this alone could determine the likelihood of getting cancer or contracting diabetes and heart disease. For example, take Japan: a Japanese woman is far less likely to get breast cancer than an American woman, and studies show this is related to diet. Listen to this fascinating radio program explaining how Japanese women use their natural diets to be remain healthy over the course of their lives.
