Taking a photo of your food and posting it online is becoming more and more popular. However, not everyone thinks it’s such a good idea.
Food photos are popular on social networking sites. People often post pictures of their meals on Facebook or photo sites such as Tumblr and Instagram. Many of the pictures are of delicious-looking food from top-class restaurants. Some people even find it addictive（上瘾的）. “I couldn’t get enough of it. I had to IG (instagram) every single meal,” one food poster wrote.
However, not all food photos are so attractive. There are now sites where you can post pictures of terrible-looking food. One such website is saddesklunch.com. Users send pictures of their depressing meals, which include things such as half-eaten bits of chicken and leftover pizza.
Sad Desk Lunch was created by office worker Kira Fisher in 2012. At the time, she was working as a video editor in New York. “I was starting at my rather terrible vegetable soup, which I was eating at my desk, and just thought, I can’t believe I’m eating this soup, let alone eating it alone at my desk,” she said. Other similar sites include cooksuck.com, foodporndairy.com and dimlyiitmealsforone. Tumblr.com.
Some chefs are trying to stop people photographing food in their restaurants. Gilles Goujon runs a three-star restaurant in southern France. He told news website France TV Info that every time his creations appear on social networks it “takes away the surprise, and a little bit of my intellectual property（知识产权）”.
Alexandre Gauthier is the chef at the “Grenouillere” restaurant a “no camera” logo on his menus. “Before, people took pictures of their family in the restaurant; now we take pictures of food... We tweet, we ‘like’（点赞）, we respond to comments, and the dish is cold,” he explained.

A well-dressed man entered a famous jewelry shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wife’s birthday. The price didn’t matter, since business had been very good for him that year.
