Food and Money / Dépenses en nourriture

You probably received this as a forwarded mail too, and do not know the origin of these photos. Anyways, they are in someone’s Flickr account.
The theme of the photos is about how much each family spends on food every week. These photos are a little bit old, apparently. I just want you to comment them, especially if your country is in the set. Do you think these are realistic enough?
By the way, let’s notice more the quantity and nature of the food, rather than its cost.

Le thème des photos est combien chaque famille dépense-t-elle en nourriture par semaine. Ces photos sont un peu anciennes, mais vous pouvez toujours les commenter ici, surtout si votre pays est sur l’une des photos. Puis croyez-vous que ces photos sont réalistiques?
Remarquons plutôt la quantité et la nature de la nourriture, plus que le coût.

la dernière image me fend le coeur!:yuck:
On sent vraiment le poids des images!

The last image makes me realize how wasteful we can be. Imagine $1.23 and only a couple sacks of grains and 1 bottle of water to feed 6 mouths… It is really sad.
