What the world eats



I thought that the Revis family of North Carolina and the Aboubakar family of Breidjing camp is very different, so I'd like to compare that two families-Revis family and the Aboubakar family.

First, the Revis family in the picture eats something like pizza, "Lays", French fries, and some other kinds of food. Also, they have some drinks. However, the Aboubakar family of Breidjing camp is very different from them. They eat water(no drinks), and they doesn't eat some kind of foods like pizza, french fries... kind or that. The Aboubakar family eats something like grains. So it means their food style is very different. Also, Revis family's favorite food is spaghetti, potatoes, and sesame chicken. Compared to Revis family's favorite food, Aboubakar family's favorite food is soup with fresh sheep meat.

Second, the Revis family has many kinds of foods. They has more than ten kinds of foods and drinks. However, compared to the Revis family, the Aboubakar family has only 4~5 kinds of foods.

And finally, the Revis family spend $341.98 one week for the food. On the other hand, the Aboubakar family of Breidjing camp spend only 685 CFA Francs or $1.23 one week for the food. So it means their money for the food is very different.
