I read this fascinating article tonight about a photographer named Mark Menjivar who decided to take pictures of various people’s refrigerators, on the idea that if you are what you eat then your fridge is the window to your soul. I think it’s a good premise. I found the results very interesting, but also a bit disturbing. I must admit the voyeur in me enjoys seeing what other people’s refrigerators look like, and perhaps feeling a little superior that mine is cleaner. My fridge certainly tells what kind of life style my husband and I enjoy. Some were kind of sad though, like the person who only had $432 a month to live on, with only mayonnaise and a bag in their fridge.
My vote for neatest fridge is the Red Cross Board Member’s fridge.
The one I found the most disturbing was NOT the one with the rattlesnake in the freezer (no, I’m not kidding), but the one owned by a school crossing guard/nursing home assistant in a 6 person house (parents and 3 adult children in an efficiency apartment):
That’s just NASTY. These are the people who are helping our kids cross the street and caring for our elderly? Both jobs where cleanliness should reign supreme? Eww…
And the college kids one you don’t even need to read the description. You can tell just by looking at the picture that college students live there.
Anyway, I didn’t copy all the pictures so please go ahead and check out the link.
