How the web is changing people's diet
In the article written by Sara Breselor, she
said that social media-style sharing is now part of out culture zeitgeist. And
undoubtedly this has also changing the way we experience and react to food. I
quiet agree with her. When I was young, I mostly ate home-made dinner at home
with my family. The food for every week was almost made from the same material.
Eating at home was more because of the time sharing with my family rather than
the food. And at that time, nobody would take a picture of what they ate
tonight. People do not put much emphasis on competing with others about what they
eat. However, because of the social media, people keep uploading nice and fancy
pictures. Everybody can know what the others ate tonight and are influenced by
the nice pictures. People are not satisfied with the food they eat everyday and
tend to pursue new different styles. They search the website for
food from different countries and take photos in order to show they have more
experience. People try to find the restaurant as expensive as possible to show
they are expert in food field. People find the restaurant as remote as possible
in order to show their excellent taste. They make bad comment on the most
popular food to show their difference with the normal people. Whenever people
eat at a restaurant, the first thing they will do is taking photos. Increasing restaurants
begin to take less emphasis on making the meal taste good and put more emphasis
on making meals looks good in order to cater to their customers. Nowadays people
always forget to take time feeling the real taste of the food.
