I am currently reading a book called What the World Eats by Faith D’Aluisio. It’s about a guy who travels around the world to see what other people in other places eat he follows 1 family around to see how much they spend and what they buy and what they eat.
This week he’s following the Dudos family of Sarajevo that is located in Europe. The Dudos family is a family of 5, 3 kids and 2 adults. In one week the family spent $167.43 on food. They spent $17.40 on grains and other starchy foods, $17.77 on dairy, $54.22 on meat, fish, and eggs, $28.18 on fruits, vegetables, and nuts, $8.75 on condiments, $21.74 on snacks and desserts, $2.47 on prepared food, and $16.90 on beverages. The people In Sarajevo consume 73 pounds of sugar each year. And 9% of the people there are undernourished.
That’s fairly a lot of food for just one week, this family must make like a whole meal each meal time. The unemployment rate for 2002 was 45.5% that’s a lot especial since the city is so big, looking at the city you would have thought that it would have a lot of jobs and most of the people were employed.
