Great photos (although possibly not showing those kids' typical breakfasts, but something they came up with for the photo session), somewhat boring text. But my gripe with this article is mainly that it's the year 2014 and a famous US-based publication would have the means (financial and technological) to produce something that would live up to the expectations raised by the title: representative dishes from many more than just a handful of countries, not a few shiny pictures for a 10 minute read, but instead something that could actually be used a reference and at some point become a publication of historical value. The TIME article linked in the comments does it much better. tl;dr - sad times: hyperbole everywhere and "fast food" journalism. Someone ought to do it properly.
