Good one…

 

Any man can win when things go his way; it's the man who overcomes adversity that is the true champion.

Take a good look at the family size & diet of each country, and the availability & cost of what is eaten in one week.  Italy: The Manzo family of Sicily Food expenditure for one week: 214.36 Euros or $260.11   Germany : The Melander family of Bargteheide Food expenditure for one week: 375.39 Euros or $500.07 United States: The Revis family of North Carolina (Sure hope most American families eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and less junk food than this family) Food expenditure for one week $341.98   Mexico : The Casales family of Cuernavaca Food expenditure for one week: 1,862.78 Mexican Pesos or $189.09   Poland : The Sobczynscy family of Konstancin-Jeziorna Food expenditure for one week: 582.48 Zlotys or $151.27   Egypt: The Ahmed family of Cairo Food expenditure for one week: 387.85 Egyptian Pounds or $68.53   Ecuador: The Ayme family of Tingo Food expenditure for one week: $31.55   Bhutan: The Namgay family of Shingkhey Village Food expenditure for one week: 224.93 ngultrum or $5.03       Chad : The Aboubakar family of Breidjing Camp Food expenditure for one week: 685 CFA Francs or $1.23   Don't know about you, but right about now I'm counting my blessings!
