About the Author
From Los Angeles to Sao Paulo, Dakar to Hamburg, Dubai to Mumbai we come to understand that regardless of how small and interconnected the world seems to become each year, diverse pockets of traditional cultures still exist on each continent, eating largely the same way they have been for hundreds of years. It is this rich tapestry that Segal captures with care and appreciation, showcasing the page-after-page charm of Daily Bread. Contrasted with the packaged and processed foods consumed primarily in developed nations, questions about health and sustainability are raised and the book serves as a catalyst for consideration of our status quo.
There’s an old adage, “The hand that stirs the pot rules the world.” Big Food is stirring the pot for children all over the world. Nonetheless, there are regions and communities where slow food will never be displaced by junk food, where home-cooked meals are the bedrock of family and culture, and where love and pride are expressed in the aromas of stews and curries.

Original !
Des enfants pris en photos au milieu des repas qu’ils ont l’habitude de manger. Un texte (en anglais) “en face” de chaque photo… Trés intéressant et permet de travailler son anglais !

Beautifully creative photos and inspiring text
The book Daily Bread contains an amazing collection of photos depicting the vast range and colours of food eaten by children in different cultures around the world. The text to each photo creates a cultural and social context of the childrens’ lives — refreshingly simple and never judging. I love this book because it illustrates that art can be a great medium to communicate pressing global health issues — the transition away from healthy, nutritious and freshly cooked meals in some countries/regions/families to increasingly processed and junk foods. Gregg Segal’s points in his introduction are well taken: he emphasizes that if we want to tackle the double burden of malnutrition — hunger and obesity — people around the globe must have access to high quality and nutritious foods!

You must get this book!
Gregg Segal not only has created a record of what children are consuming but he sparks conversations that must be had to save our children from eating themselves to chronic disease. As a physician I was mesmerized by the photos and discussed them with my own 3 grown children. It is the only book in our living room. It should be in every physician’s waiting room! Phenomenal job and would highly recommend it!
