Outro dia, navegando por aí, encontrei uma reportagem que me chamou atenção. A reportagem da revista Time fala o quanto cada família gasta por semana com alimentação em vários países. Para representar isso, tiraram uma foto com cada família e os alimentos que consomem. Essa reportagem é baseada no livro “Hungry Planet“.
Acho que vale a pena ver isso e ai cabe a cada um refletir ou não sobre o assunto.
