Food & Popular culture


Food is a major theme included in Pop culture that I see daily. Whether its logging onto Instagram and seeing food posts including recipes, new ideas, food hacks, etc. on popular Instagram pages like 'Buzzfeedfood' who has over 1.5 million followers, or 'food network' who has a whopping 2.2 million followers its everywhere! I log onto Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, even Snapchat to find the best and the brightest ideas on how to cook "The best meal that was in 2015" or "Try this ooey gooey monkey bread right in your kitchen!" For me, food has always been very important to not only me, but also my loved ones. We look at food as a way to bring the whole family together as we sit around the dinner table chatting and laughing about our days over a nice meal. A huge Pop culture food theme I have been seeing lately is “Clean eating” this kind of food ideas gives people a way to eat healthier but still enjoy the taste of the food vs. foods high in saturated fats and grease. I characterize myself as what you may call a "Foodie" I genuinely enjoy going to a new restaurant every weekend to try the best meal on the menu, or biting into that piece of comfort food that melts in your mouth. As I always said, I can’t understand why I’m not on the food network yet traveling around the world being a food taster! I read an amazing article on how food has invaded pop culture that I will attach below. This article highlights the major points I made on how food took over social media.
