What's in your Fridge?

Food for thought!

This is undoubtedly one of the most interesting e-mails I've ever received.

Take a good look at the diet of each country and the cost of what is eaten

in one week.


Germany: The Melander family of Bargteheide
Food expenditure for one week: 375.39 Euros or $500.07


United States: The Revis family of North Carolina (Sure hope most American
families eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and less junk food than this family.)
Food expenditure for one week $341.98

Italy: The Manzo family of Sicily

Food expenditure for one week: 214.36 Euros or $260.11


Mexico: The Casales family of Cuernavaca

Food expenditure for one week: 1,862.78 Mexican Pesos or $189.09


Poland: The Sobczynscy family of Konstancin-Jeziorna

Food expenditure for one week: 582.48 Zlotys or $151.27


Egypt: The Ahmed family of Cairo

Don't know about you, but right about now, I'm counting my blessings!
