  We are what we eat. But how do our diets actually reflect us?

To find out, photographer Gregg Segal has traveled around the world to shoot a photo series of kids from different cultures surrounded by the stuff they stuff themselves with. Over the course of 3 years, the professional photographer has visited 9 countries (the USA, India, Malaysia, Germany, France, Italy, Senegal, the United Arab Emirates, and Brazil). Why kids?

"I focused on kids because eating habits start young and if you don't get used to a healthy diet when you're 9 or 10, it's going to be a lot harder when you're older," Gregg said. What was his conclusion? Do kids from rich countries have a healthier diet than kids from India and Africa?

Surprisingly, they don’t. They have enough money to buy junk food, while poor African and Indian children eat homemade food which is mostly made from vegetables, fruit, nuts and grains grown in their own gardens.
