Should we celebrate or eliminate the trend of photographing our food?
I am not fun to eat with. I’m a fine conversationalist. I like a lot of different cuisines. And I’ll gladly let you have a bite off my plate. But I’m still not fun to eat with. And that’s because, if we’re sitting together, there’s going to come a moment after the food arrives that I have to ask you to wait to take a bite (no matter how hungry you are) so that I can snap a picture, or six, of the food in front of you. We don’t just eat with our eyes anymore. We eat with our lens first.
