The food in the ads have "Make up artist" that make it look better for the camera with such tricks as using varnish to make it shine. I watched a program about it years ago.

And a lot of the time the "food" in those shots isn't even food

Much of the time the "food" in the fast food place shouldn't be classified as "food" either! :roll:

It's called "fast food" for a reason. They don't have time to make it look all pretty like it does in TV commercials and print ads. Cook it and serve it, they're not producing works of art. :lol:

Once I read an article by a food stylist. She said that Elmer's glue was used as milk in cereal photo shoots.
