I had T look at all these pictures of a week's worth of food around the world today

He was fascinated by the similarities and differences and spent about an hour talking to me about it, and telling my dad about it.


He suggested we do a picture of our family food for the week. Since it is Sunday and I meal plan today anyways, he is drafting up a list for meal suggestions, then we are meal planning from there and making a list of the things we do not already have, going shopping after dinner tonight and taking the picture tonight.

It was also a nice tie in to being grateful because he saw the stark contrast in amount and quality of foods (like amounts of fruit).

Thought some fellow bbb homeschoolers would be interested

:thumbsup: I've seen those pics before. They are compelling. How is HS working out?

I remember those pics from a while back--thanks for sharing! DS1's been very into cooking, I bet he'd like those pictures.
