What Does Your Fridge Say About You?

Take a look in your refrigerator. Ever think that the way you align take-out containers or stockpile veggies was an expression of who you are? Moreover, would you imagine your refrigerated food collection could be showcased as pop art?  Well, meet Mark...
Photographer Mark Menjivar created a collection of sociological portraits via the stock of food in one’s fridge. From a meat and tequila-packed freezer to the overflow of fresh produce, we are what we eat and our icebox inventory is likely a reflection of our mannerisms, beliefs, general health, and even our wallets.

 Must your labels align neatly?  Is there chocolate everywhere? Do all of your meals come frozen in a box?  Do you have champagne on hand? Mark’s photography collection, You Are What You Eat, creates a story about these very questions with 19 photographs from people across the country.

The titles of each picture include location and a brief  summary about the owner.  Check out the entire collection of You Are What You Eat.
