No too many surprises there, Amos. But a few "curiosities."

Note that they don't say that they tried to find "representative families."

The two US families shown would indicate that US families don't consume soft drinks, while the Mexican family of 4 shows 11 L of what looks like Coca Cola per week? (Of course not as many 'tater chips as the US family). That's a nasty "un-Amurrican" kind of propoganda.

The German family seems to have one of the highest weekly bills, but is that really 44 bottles of "beverage" per week for 4 people (2 adults)? (They must be musicians(?).)

The pictures aren't clear enough to zoom in on much more detail, so identifications of some things are a little ambiguous. I don't find either of the US families "unusual," but our two adults and four cats spend about $300 per month on groceries and aren't particularly deprived. (The cats account for about $30 per month of that for litter and food.)
