FOOD AROUND THE WORLD

Sabbah's Blog

September 24, 2009

This Email from Sabbah's Blog has a political point to be made, one we cannot miss. However it was also interesting to see how folks from other cultures eat. Turkey and Mexico appealed to me most with all those wonderful fruits and vegetables. America and Australia and Japan the least due to prepackaging. But then we move on to Gaza.

Regardless of the religion, nationality or season, this is a snapshot of what people eat around the world (including Gaza ~ watch to the end):

Arabian Gulf

USA

Turkey

Poland

Mexico

Japan

Italy

India

Guatemala

Great Britain

Egypt

Ecuador

China

Australia

Last but not least, Gaza:

Palestinian families in Gaza will pay anything ~ if they got the money ~ to buy the basics, such as milk for the children.
