How food is pictured DOES make a difference

Apparently all that shiny icing, gooey oil, sugar sheen, and fat dripping food triggers stuff in the brain that makes us (on a biological level) overeat.

So when I'm dipping my strawberries into melted chocolate, I'm really just giving the food a chocolate massage?

Calling it porn and having special sites just for looking at pictures of food is new, but the rest... well, I especially love this line from the article: "Food was never meant to be experienced from just a visual perspective"

Actually, this reminds me of a description in one of C.S. Lewis's books of a food strip tease.

Pretty much the same as licking the chocolate off the strawberry would fall under the category of "oral sex."

Read that at work with my "supervisor". We had a good laugh. Also had to explain to a coworker that it wasn't actual porn.
