Food porn. This slang was coined to describe the situation when you see images of food that are so good and look so yummy that it’s basically good as porn.
You get excited and some would even say aroused. People all over the world say that food is sometimes better than sex, i’m one of these people, when you find that perfect looking and perfect taste meal, you can’t help but get excited.
What is food porn really?
Wikipedia describes food porn, or foodporn as the galmorization of food, just like advertising companies use these super sleek and sharp images of food that make it look so good you want to eat the picture.
The term actually came from the porn industry world, as it is common practice in that industry to create the illusion of things being better than they actually are. Think about all the old posters you looked at as a kid. These ladies are always photoshopped and looking too good and sleek to be real.
A good rule of thumb to know if a food picture is foodporn or not is:
- If it looks too good to be true, it probably is
- if you see photoshop in the picture.
- If the food doesn’t make sense, sometimes ad companies will pair foods with things that don’t make sense, just to make it look good.
