About a week ago, we launched a 'My Food' tab in our user's profile on menuvore, that displays pictures of everything the user has eaten/reviewed. You can also see what other Menuvores (what we call our users) are eating/reviewing by going to their profile and clicking on their 'My Food' tab. We thought this would be a cool way for people to see what they and their friends have eaten.
Well, the New York Times agrees with us. Today, it posted this article, talking about the increasingly popular trend of taking pictures of what you eat.
We love this trend and encourage more people to take pictures and share what they eat because it:
1) Is a great way of remembering and looking at what you have eaten
2) Is an interesting way to find out things about your friends or someone else (you are what you eat)
3) Could help others find great food
So, the next time someone give you the ol' "Take a picture, it will last longer.," tell them... "okay" and bust out your phone (at least when it comes to food, not necessarily to gawking at someone's significant other). People love food, talking about what they eat and finding out what others eat. The verdict is out, the trend is hot... so whip out the camera, snap a picture of what you eat and share it with the world.
