Photographer Peter Menzel was curious about the world's eating habits and decided to document them in a unique way. His "What the World Eats" series (from a book that he published) features families from all over the globe including Africa, Europe, North America, South America and more, standing in their respective homes with all of the foods that they consume. The results are remarkable in terms of consumption differences, especially the diet difference between the modernized and more traditional/rural/indigenous families.

The folks over at BuzzFeed Food have a pretty in-depth article about a 45-year-old Cannabis baker from Los Angeles, California.

The article highlights the interesting ins and outs of the burgeoning-yet-still clandestine industry. With plenty of pictures to show, but tons of red tape to cross, it's interesting to note what the mommy baker mentions her motivations are and how detailed the process gets.

The following mini-doc highlights a couple of very different trucks and the inspiration behind them all--everything from green trucks that run on ethanol and serve organic foods to trucks that specialize in fried soul food!

While we admit that we don't really know how an energy drink and graffiti really make sense together (all PR and endorsement money aside), we do like the recent collaboration video between Parisian artist, Nasty, and Burn.
