Food porn

Food porn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Food porn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Food Porn is a term for a spectacular visual
presentation of cooking
or eating in adverts,
infomercials,
cooking shows or other visual media. The most notable example may
be Iron Chef, which
has very little educational value, but scores remarkably high on
the visual spectacle of cooking, cooking implements and the
ingredients of food preparation. In much the same way that pornography can be a
vicarious substitute for actual sexual relations, 'food porn' is
seen as a substitute for actually cooking and eating the food in
question. Similarly, in much the same way that pornography may
display feats of performance that average people would not attempt,
'food porn' sometimes features exotic ingredients and excessively
elaborate recipes and preparation.

Food Porn is also sometimes used to refer to food that
is very high in calories or a poor nutritional choice. The Hardee's Monster Thickburger is a notable
example. This usage is commonly used, and perhaps coined, by the
Center for Science in
the Public Interest."

I'll be damn. I guess anything can be porn. It doesn't have to be aout nudity or sex at all.
