Food Images Essay

I agree that Instagram affects the way we decide where and what we eat and how we appreciate the food. Take an example of hotel's menus advertisement. The way the food images are presented makes one choose which restaurant to try. When one goes for a meal at the restaurant they judge the food based on the model they had earlier seen. Does the food correspond to what was in the image or not? Is it as tasty as it looks in the image? Science explains this phenomenon and relates it to the human brain. Food images equip us with knowledge of other people's cultural foods. Cultural identity is a process that is very dynamic therefore foods are part of the process.
