FRIDGE ANTHROPOLOGY

by Amber on June 7, 2009

As everyone loves to tell me constantly – mothers, doctors, personal trainers – you are what you eat. In that case I’m a bowl of udon noodles and 15 assorted beers.

What are you if you’ve got a snake in your fridge? According to photographer Mark Menjivar it makes you a Texan Short Order Cook with a penchant for weightlifting. Menjivar has conducted an amazing photographic essay on people’s fridges that has been posted at Good Magazine. It’s very voyeuristic – anonymously looking at people’s eating lives and finding out a little snippet about them. As one commenter said – looking at someone’s fridge is like seeing them naked – I agree.

Fridge of journalist and designer.

I’d take a picture our fridge but it’s not much to look at. It’s a 3 person household, but we never really cook. In there you’ll find naught but a motley collection of alcoholic beverages, and we have a fine vodka collection in the freezer. What’s in yours?

My fridge is crammed when my mother comes and contains little more than jam, snapple and salami when she disapeers again!
