  • Minibus driver and part-time restaurant manager's Mohammad Riahi's mother in her kitchen in the city of Yazd, Iran. (Mohammad Riahi is one of the people interviewed for the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) Mohammed eats whatever he wants to eat at the restaurant, but at home he eats what his mother puts on the tablecloth on the floor in the middle of their living room. Many of their meals are vegetable and starch-based although they have lamb or chicken occasionally, and sheep's head soup on the weekend. As Muslims, they never eat pork.

  • Todd Kincer, a coal miner, with his typical day's worth of food and his workday lunch box at his home in Mayking, Kentucky. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of his day's worth of food in the month of April was 3,200 kcals. He is 34 years of age; 5 feet, 11 inches tall; and 185 pounds. After showering and scrubbing off the day's coal dust, Todd gets ready to dig in to one of his favorite meals: Hamburger Helper with double noodles. A college graduate drawn to the coal mine by the relatively high pay, Todd spends a 10-hour shift mining underground, driving a low-slung electric shuttle car that carries coal from the face of the coal seam, where it's being chewed up by a deafening, dusty mining machine, to a conveyer belt. The mine, located deep inside a mountain in the Appalachians near the town of Whitesburg, Kentucky, is pitch-black, except for headlights and headlamps. During winter months, Todd never sees daylight during the workweek. MODEL RELEASED.

  • An Icelandic cod fisherman cleans fish in the belly of a boat near the small port of Sandgerdi on the western side of Reykjanes peninsula, Iceland. Although their craft is small, their large nets are mechanized. They monitor the casting then drink coffee and eat bread and fruit in the boat's galley until it's time to  haul in the bounty. They clean the fish in the belly of the ship, toss the guts, and then, after repeating this cycle many times for 8 hours, head for port. The fishermen take a fish or two home each day, along with their pay.
