Food and nutrition education for secondary schools

The Time Magazine online has an extract from Peter Menzel's book 'Hungry Planet'. It is a photographic essay of families around the world and what the foods they eat in a week. This would be great way to engage students and get some interesting discussion about the global changes in diets as well as food security issues. Families featured range from refugees in camps living off US$1.23 to a German Family of four spending US$500+. Each photo shows the family, their home and features the week worth of food on display, a visual analysis of each photo students can identify products that they recognise and also gives a great snap shot of their dietary intake for the week.
