10. Now itโs ubiquitous and just shows that we are in a โ we
couldnโt get more obsessive.โ
- Tucker Shaw, food critic for The Denver Post [4]
โIt used to turn heads if you took a picture of your food, and I even got in
trouble at a few restaurantsโฆ
11. Even when statistics indicate that we eat alone more than of the time, food
always us to others โ the people that prepare and sell our food and
the other members of our culture who eat the same thing. [5]
12. Technology-enabled, we are able to be with one another, and also elsewhere,
connected to wherever we want to be. [6]
14. Spectators
Use social media as an
extension of their network
of friends, family and
peers.
Ie, for product reviews,
recipes and good deals.
15. Dreamers
Curate and push food
related content through
social networks.
They aspire to have larger
followings and more
influence than they
currently do.
16. Doers
Are the core of food and
social media, creating
content that inspires
followers.
They are the most
engaged.
17. is less of a sensory experience and more of a visual
and rational process: โWhat's on the label? What's in the recipe? Show me the
picture!โ [7]
18. The โtable for oneโ rarely exists anymore, even among single people
eating alone at homeโฆ
19. If you are eating alone, chances are you are also texting friends who live miles
away or posting food photos to a review site. [7]
20. These days, we still want to , but now our first focus is to have, to
possess, a photograph of our experience. [8]
21. This is where
attractive food
photography is essential.
Grab the attention of
travellers with tantalizing
pictures of food, and they
will jump on the next plane
to be able to taste it. [9]
24. Social media offers dinner inspiration,
links to the best recipes, food
and healthy food advice.
It helps us
the people we love the most and
what they like to eat, and has
restaurants further than
ever before. [10]
