The Hungry Planet: What the world eats | StarTribune.com


The Hungry Planet: What the world eats StarTribune.com:

"How much food does your family eat in a year? A fascinating new exhibit at the Bell Museum shows how dinner varies throughout the world in quantity, substance and cost. 'Hungry Planet: What the World Eats' continues until May 9, 2010.

The exhibit focuses on 10 cultures, many with ties to Minnesota, and is based on the book 'Hungry Planet,' by Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio. Their book won the James Beard Foundation's Book of the Year Award, which I wrote about. in a Taste cover story in 2006. For an interview with Peter and Faith, see this story."
