New Facebook page celebrates great meals after they have been eaten
TWO guys have developed a solution to combat the increasing number of people Instagramming their meals and it’s pure genius.
THERE is something horribly wrong with people Instagramming their meals when at a restaurant and it has nothing to do with filter choices or pretentious hashtags.
Sean Frazer and Cam St. Clair were dining out with a group of friends when they were hit by the shocking problem.
“We were out with a large group and around 60 per cent of people took photos of their food when it arrived,” Mr St. Clair told news.com.au
“Now, there’s the key. They were taking photos BEFORE they’d actually tasted the food.”
As the Central Coast lads pointed out, the food could have tasted terrible and these people were promoting it to the world as a glorious meal, based on appearance alone.
Wanting to take a stand, the duo devised a plan to directly combat the growing issue of what they describe as “food fraud”.
The solution came in the form of an aptly titled Facebook page called Post Food Posts, which was created for the sole purpose of allowing users to share pictures of their meal after it was eaten.
“Through targeted social content amplification courtesy of services like Facebook, we are able to bring the global community together and give them the chance to tell us what their meal was like with the benefit of hindsight,” Mr St Clair said.
“Personally, I liken it to stars without make-up. It might look a bit rough now, but you should have seen it when it had been professionally plated up.
“Chances are if the plate is devoid of food, it must have tasted pretty good. Share it.”
If the hilarious posts on the page are anything to go by, it appears these guys might be onto a new trend.
