It would be really interesting to see that information. Or if he had taken each foreign family's grocery list, found the price of each item on the list in an American grocery store, and then compared it to either of the American family's totals.

I find it interesting that the family in Mexico were one of the few that had a ton of fresh produce, but they also had the most amount of soda. You think Coke has a huge presence in Mexico or what???

The Internet is so cool. There's another book called <i>Women in the Material World</i>, which documents the day-to-day lives of women in over 20 countries.

In this book, he photographs families in front of their homes, with all of their possessions arranged around them. The book includes statistics such as income, most valued possession, and so on. It was published in 1995, but it's still eye-opening. Another great collection by the same photographer is Material World: A Global Family Portrait.
