Food Glorious Food

 

We can’t live without food, it’s a fact but do we need to take a picture of every meal and post it on a social network? I don’t think so and I’m not the only one check out this link and see what others have to say.

A social media craze that just won’t go away is taking photos of your food and sharing it with your friends on social media. I personally don’t see why people do it however I can tell you about how other people have come to understand it. For some taking photos of food has become a form of art and as such they are always looking to find the best and the most stunning shots of foods, as it was said in the lecture food is just not food (Learn JCU, 2015). Others however seem to be food photographers because the want to appear to be having the best of meal ever and are in way showing off. To an extent I believe that some people do it to show their social status, the better to food looks the higher up the social ladder you must be.

Facebook is a platform for food photographers as on Facebook you are able to create pages dedicated to one type of food or it could be a page dedicated to a more general type of food. Not only this but once on a social network your food can be seen around the world. The food photographer revolution is one that I feel be around for a lot longer than any other trend because it fits in so perfectly with the lives of so many people and now it has become a habit.
