they try to put a price to make it look more sensational. 1.23 for all that rice? in canada this would cost at lest 50$ for the chad groceries. so It's not as if they "spend less"

and as for the american family.. Canada is pretty much the same as the US, and we do not eat like that. This is a little bit extreme. If you think that the US familly is gonna eat that much candy in a week, do you really think that the guatemala familly is gonna eat that much tomatoes in one week?

This would be a better comparison if we knew what percent of weekly income these figures represent. The actual amounts are faily meaningless for comparison.

What impress me is the amount of wastes differences between the first and third worlds nations. The American family doesn't have almost anything fresh!

The Guatemalan choice food looks real than any other. And the Chad food, I don't even have words for that...!
