Thank you for this, Sutanya. I definitely think food can be both nourishing *and* beautiful, but I think social media’s algorithm only rewards one of those things 🤨 I wish it weren’t the case but it’s probably going to get worse before it gets better in the age of Ozempic, food auteurism and fashion- and art-sponsored edible installations.
Umm wow don't even get me started on food as an aesthetic. It's an absolute love/hate relationship. I've been thinking about this subject and wanting to talk about it for some time now but thanks for putting some of those same thoughts into words!
Watching the evolution of Fashion Week presentations and events over the years going from looking down on people who eat to now parading foods as aesthetics (but still inedible if you ask me) is pretty sickening.
Same Khuyen, sameeee! I admire the artistry and the large-scale productions but it is all such a waste and as you said, many industries went from looking down on people to now parading food around like an object to be gawked at.

Thank you for reading! And I agree that it will only get worse and I wonder in what ways
Same!

Yes, we need our stomach and soul fed, not only our eyes 🫰 (And you do both! ✨)
Merci for reading and your compliment! I try to feed both, I know what I do isn't Michelin star worthy but at least it's sincere and satisfying. :)
