  • A customer orders tilapia from Roseline Amondi's market stall in the Kibera slum in Nairobi, Kenya. (Roseline Amondi is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.)  Roseline buys fish wholesale then fries them up on the street in front of her makeshift home and sells the lot of them before nightfall. She is the recipient of a small micro-loan which has given her the ability to open a small cafe, but the biggest boost to her life has been the women who have become her loan partners. The micro-lending operates as a club. If one person defaults, then everyone is responsible. The group is tight-knit, and gets together to talk about work, but also to play sports and support each other emotionally.  MODEL RELEASED.

  • Neil Jones, the Director of Operations at the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada, with one day's worth of his typical food in the skypod of the tower. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of his day's worth of food on a typical day in June was 2600 kcals. He is 44 years of age; 6 feet, 2 inches tall and 220 pounds.  The viewing platform is above the world's highest revolving restaurant, which revolves 360 degrees.

The pricey entrance and elevator fee of about $25 per person is waived if you eat at the restaurant, making it cheaper to have lunch than to just see the sights. MODEL RELEASED.

  • A man rakes muck out of open sewer outside microloan beneficiary Roseline Amondi's small restaurant in the Kibera slum, Nairobi, Kenya. (Roseline Amondi is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The raking of muck raises the level of the street over time.  Trash is also burned in the dirt street, as the streets and alley are too narrow for garbage collection, and even fire engines, raising the risk of huge slum fires. Kibera is Africa's biggest slum with nearly one million inhabitants.

The curimata in the photo is just one of dozens of species that makes its way onto João's table. Absent from his daily diet are any alcoholic or caffeinated beverages, eschewed by his Seventh-day Adventist religion.  MODEL RELEASED.

Although homegrown vegetables and rice are her staples, chicken feathers and a bowl that held scalding water for easier feather plucking are clues to the meat course of a special meal for visitors. In this region, each rural family is its own little food factory and benefits from thousands of years of agricultural knowledge passed down from generation to generation.

The heavy clay soils along the river near the market town of Sonargaon are well suited for making bricks. At the JRB brick factory, workers of all ages move raw bricks from long, stacked rows, where they first dry in the sun, to the smoky coal-fired kilns. After being fired, the bricks turn red. A foreman keeps tally, handing the workers colored plastic tokens corresponding to the number of bricks they carry past him. They cash in the chips at the end of each shift, taking home the equivalent of $2 to $4 (USD) a day.

  • A girl leans on a qat tree in a qat orchard near the city of Sanaa, Yemen. Although qat chewing isn't as severe a health hazard as smoking tobacco, it has drastic social, economic, and environmental consequences. When chewed, the leaves release a mild stimulant related to amphetamines. Qat is chewed several times a week by a large percentage of the population: 90 percent of Yemen's men and 25 percent of its women. Because growing qat is 10 to 20 times more profitable than other crops, scarce groundwater is being depleted to irrigate it, to the detriment of food crops and agricultural exports.
