Addiction to food photography: Good or bad?

For some people it is a psychological problem, but for many people it is a positive action in life.

Taking photos of food is the current trend, and many studies suggest that an 'addicted' person taking food photos often has psychological problems. However, enjoying the food photography also has its advantages.

Psychological problems?

According to Dr. BS. Valerie Taylor, a Canadian health and mental health expert, often takes pictures of what's important to me and for some people the food has become the center, the rest of the things like space, people . are just 'backgrounds'.

By living with death, you have to capture the image of the food, you are having psychological problems

Valerie Taylor's assessment is quite accurate with most of Facebookers' current meals. Before holding chopsticks, many people will think about capturing the whole table or a dish, then post it on Facebook. Why is this thought?

According to Dr. Valerie, photographing food may be due to the eagerness of a person who wants to 'show off' what he eats, or praises his passion. Indeed, 'showing' what you have eaten today, where are the thoughts of many people when you act on it. But is that considered a neurological problem?

The health issue here is closely related to the relationship between users and Facebook. Specifically, a person who does not play Facebook or social networks, does not often share about life will not need to act as above. On the contrary, you will want to let the world know what's going on with you.

If the action is uncontrollable, such as feeling angry, uncomfortable when you have not taken the food before eating, even crying or cursing at others, then you are clearly having a neurological problem. But if for you, the capture of food is because of passion, open-minded, open-minded personality is really not worth worrying about.

In the field of psychology, people are divided into 4 different groups of temperament, including active people, flexible people, calm people and caring people. So if you are an active or flexible person, always living quite openly can live with you, expressed by sharing daily meals.

Help more delicious meals

As Dr. Valeria said, taking photos of a dish may be due to the eagerness of a person who wants to 'show off' what he eats. Thus, photographing food is a normal psychological need of people. And when that need is satisfied, you'll probably eat better. This is a positive point.

The problem is with people who eat with you, explore the personality of the people in the table before asking people to give you a few seconds to take pictures. Because your joy can become the annoyance of others. In this case, please temporarily put aside your interests, because that is quite virtual and not really necessary.

Bragging today what to eat is just one aspect of the food shoot. In addition, showing off a caption food like 'Made by self', 'Today I went to the kitchen', 'Being free to grow well' . also helps Facebookers feel more proud of what they show off.

A 'check-in' person in a luxurious restaurant with dishes that are delicious, can you match a person who cooks his own food with the most fresh food? This question does not have a correct answer, because depending on the lifestyle and living environment will affect each person. But for a food enthusiast who likes to go to the kitchen is obviously a very positive thing.
