You can learn quite a bit about your eating habits from perusing photos of 25 diets from around the world in a new exhibit at the Museum of Science, Boston. Perhaps your diet resembles the 8,400 calories a day consumed by the orange soda-chugging Namibian truck driver. Or maybe you’re eating like the guy who troubleshoots your computer glitches at a call center in Bangalore: He grabs what he can from the fast-food chains in the basement of his building.
The photo essay exhibit, which runs through Feb. 26, contains images showing a complete accounting of every morsel of food consumed by a particular subject in a given day with calorie counts ranging from 800 a day - a tribal chief’s wife in the middle of a Kenyan famine - up to 12,300 calories a day, a binge eater in Britain on the day of a binge.
