This collection of images is taken from the book 'Hungry Planet: What the World Eats' by Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio and shows how much processed food has taken over many nations meal-times as well as the huge difference in the volume of food we consume. Although we already know a lot of this these images really do tell a thousand words. The portraits feature pictures of each family with their weekly shop.

Research from Soil Association's Better Nursery Food Now campaign also revealed that nine out of 10 (89%) parents wanted to see legally enforceable rules for the nutritional standards of food in nurseries. 95% off parents said they wanted to ban additives linked to behavioural problems or health issues in nursery food and almost all parents wanted compulsory nutrition and cookery training for nursery staff preparing and serving food.
