beccles Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 The UK picture doesn't look all that representative of what British people really eat... not a single bit of meat or Yogurt as far as I can tell, and they've managed to squeeze in two boxes of animal food! +1. I'm struggling to see one good meal in that lot, I think can just about make out some Bacon but its inbetween the Go Cat and the Pedigree chum so that that gone. No Pasta Hardly any Bread. (My lot get through about a loaf a day) Just sweets, water, Tobbaco and Animal food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

200p Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I agree. I knew things were bad in the U.K., but I never thought it had got to the Mad Max level where people are resorting to eating Go-Cat. They spent all their income on a overpriced shoebox and Laurence Llewelyn Bowen Turd-shade wallpaper, hence they are down to their last box of Go-cat.

Mrs Bear Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I've eaten go-kat. It's not that bad. I've eaten a Bonio, also not bad at all. Did it to encourage my dog - Look what I've got, yum yum! - who couldn't understand that she was supposed to eat them, not bury them in the garden. Or in large plant pots indoors if it happened to be raining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil324 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 With 3 men living in the Chinese house I would have expected to see a lot more red meat. Is that a man sitting down on the left. I had to concentrate when first seeing the photo and after deliberating decided it was a woman. Best be careful when out drinking next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffneck Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 The photos are entertaining, but they're completely baseless. So the average American consumes one tomato slice per day and eats no other vegetables? Who's eating all those vegetables in American supermarkets, then? And the average Italian eats one persimmon per day? Is that even humanly possible? This is all just some middle-class, coastal American food snob trying to establish how superior they are because they shop at Whole Foods. i went to a whole foods in NYC when i was there , those places are amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichB Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Awesome, even the Germans show efficiency in the layout of the food! Indeed... in order of importance, starting in the bottom left hand corner by the look of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Loblaw Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 i went to a whole foods in NYC when i was there , those places are amazing The one on Kensington High Street is a great place but the prices are incredible. I used to spend a lot there when I was using my expense account although you could easily spend £20 on a lunch of Sushi and Organic juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpewLabour Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 The only westerners not eating pizza...... the italians. You'll find that they're the only westerners not eating pre-made packaged crap pizza. The Italians actually make it fresh themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Orange Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 The Italians actually make it fresh themselves. Pizzas are similar to pancakes, burgers, meatballs, pies, and pasties - a mishmash of leftover food from the depleted pantry. And while the Italian family seemed to overall eat healthier than the UK, US, and German families, to counter the borderline tinfoil hatted comments about unhealthy foods coming in boxes, look at somebody from a present day society that mainly bypassed eating Western food grown since the 1970s: Sure, look at the enormous whale women that block the view at your local Asda, but they're largely the result of a rather sedentary lifestyle and unbalanced diet (the UK family didn't have as much fruit and vegetables as the Italian family, but still had more fruit and veg than the US family).

Debbie568 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 The Italian family doesn't know how to live. Where's their chocolate? Who could live in Italy without having gianduiotti chocolates on the menu? Or in Germany without having hot chocolate, black forest gateau and chocolate on the menu? At least the Brits are honest and have their chocolate placed pride of place on the table. No wonder both the Germans and Italians look so dour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
