Most of them are smiling. In a way it’s odd but in another way it’s understandable to a certain degree.

I actually studied these exact pictures in my anthropology class. The fact that many families from outside Western culture spend only like $10-20 a week to feed a large group of people and yet still be living comfortably is remarkable. It just goes to show how we, in Western society, are so different, and how we pay so damn much for processed foods when these families most likely spend so little because they grow and live off their own crops.
