I liked how the German family had everything lined up so perfectly - you could tell it was the German one without even reading it!

I wonder with some of the less expensive ones if some of the fruit and vege came from gardens. it hought the Egyptian diet looked pretty good.

The last one made me cry.]]> Thu, 03 Jan 2008 13:17:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13069&PID=270203&title=eye-opening-comparison-pic-heavy#270203 <![CDATA[Eye Opening Comparison (pic heavy) : wow that is very eye opening th...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13069&PID=270012&title=eye-opening-comparison-pic-heavy#270012 Author: Bubbaloo

OMg i thought the same thing, also you look at the amount they spend, and the more crap there the more it cost.
