His Material World shows the palaces we live in compared to others in the world.

Now I want to see his book on Women in the Material World.

Stunning work.

Hard not to notice all the branding in the US pic. And where are the veggies and salad ingredients? It seems like the people with the most to spend are not spending it wisely.

But the worst thing about this post is that after seeing those pizzas I'm craving one myself. If I get pizza today it will be your fault.

Now I know someone is going to say, really... that's not the worst thing. Of course it isn't, it's a joke.

Someone posted it a few months ago, so that might be why you're not getting as many replies.

It is fascinating, nonetheless. I also liked a similar page that showed school lunches from around the world. Of course, the French lunches looked the best and most healthful
