Fotograaf Mark Menjivar maakte een serie portretten van de binnenkant van koelkasten. Voor You Are What You Eat reisde hij drie jaar lang de Verenigde Staten door, terwijl hij nadacht over de effecten van het eten dat we eten op individuen en de gemeenschap.
Elke koelkast is precies gefotografeerd zoals aangetroffen. Er is niets toegevoegd en niets weggehaald.
