That was actually very cool. It must have been fun to compose those shots.

It seems like the Mexican family doesn't like vegetables as much as the North Carolinians do.

Years ago I had an idea in a similar vein. I figured it'd be essentially impossible to do though for reasons of expense, plus I'm too lazy to actually do anything like it...
The idea was, make a big pile of everything a person buys/ consumes in a typical middle-class 'first world' lifetime. Figure about 70 years.
Christ, the toilet paper alone would fill a barn.
I find it hard to even grasp how big my mound of stuff would be after 30-odd years. All the diapers, clothes, toys, vehicles, electronics, food, drink, tobacco, books, magazines, newspapers, toiletries, furniture, luggage, sporting goods, jewelry, stationary supplies, candy, household goods, and tools I've ever owned, only up 'til now, must be a block big enough to fill a high school gymnasium.

And I haven't even owned a house or a boat yet.

And I want more still! Much, much more...

There's an interesting link on there about practically all vitamin C and other food supplements now being made in China ... http://v.mercola.com/blogs/public_blog/Most-Vitamins-Are-Now-Made-In-China-19048.aspx

I think it's better to eat (and drink) healthy and forego any regular supplements as far as possible...
