Photo Essay Response

Hungry Planet:

1. The story behind this photo journal is that around the world, different cultures and economic situations determine the amount of food a family can intake. Also, families ingest very different nutritional value.

2. Families with more money are able to buy more food. Although, the families seeming to live in better conditions do not necessarily purchase higher quality food. Higher quality in this sense means organic and unprocessed.

3. The author told this story to make people aware of other families situations. The author was also able to show how people like ourselves live our lives in comparison to other people around the world.

4. Most of the images were very disappointing because I was able to physically see the large amount of processed food that is ingested every week.

5. The images most definitely enhance the story because the pictures give a visual representation that makes the story real and easy to understand.
