Hungry Planet: What the World Eats
From the website: Gain a global perspective on food through the spectacular photos and thought-provoking commentary from the award-winning team of Peter Menzel and Faith D'Alusio.

Visit with ten families from around the world and see the food they eat. Discover surprising similarities and differences in how each family produces, shops for, and prepares their meals. The exhibition takes visitors on a food tour from the U.S. to China, Mexico to Mali, and Greenland to India. Which foods seem to show up on everyone's table, and which ones differ from family to family? View a variety of markets, family meals, and agricultural practices from around the world. In hands-on activities, learn about the foods you like by shopping from our market, track the sources of those foods from around the world, and take a closer look at their ingredients.

You'll never look at your dinner table in the same way...
