There is a saying that says we are what we eat, but can our diet actually show what we are? Photographer Gregg Segal decided to find this out and traveled around the world to photograph children from different countries and cultures with the things they eat.

 Over the course of 3 years, the photographer has visited 9 countries (the USA, India, Malaysia, Germany, France, Italy, Senegal, the United Arab Emirates, and Brazil), documenting his findings in a book called Daily Bread: What Kids Eat Around the World. “I focused on kids because eating habits start young and if you don’t get it right when you’re 9 or 10, it’s going to be a lot harder when you’re older,” Gregg said.
