The photographer seems to be making the argument that there are various ways throughout the world to obtain food; a meal. People eat many different types of food, from more civilized, western countries and their processed food to less civilized, third world countries still eating raw food, bugs, and simple meats. Some countries eat fresh food, like from the meat market, the fish. Weekly rations vary from country to country, family to family. Some have copious amounts of food with servants to prepare it for them, and others have some simple vegetables and nuts.
Being a person from a very civilized country, where there is access to food everywhere, it makes me feel somewhat selfish and ungrateful. It seems like something so simple, that is always there but in some countries it is not. The photographer almost makes us out to be greedy and wasteful.
