    Just a bit beside the point -- I've thought that if I became rich and
    wanted to go on a crusade, a good crusade would be to make food
    product photography resemble what you actually buy. Fast food is
    especially bad (not that I eat it hardly ever). When's the last time
    you bought the cheeseburger that was on TV? Ever? It's pretty
    outrageous but in truth a whole lot of the photo/video isn't even
    food at all. There's this whole field of "food art" that paints raw
    burger meat with shoe polish and stuff, and the powers-that-be just
    say, "Oh, those kids - what will they come up with next..." It's just
    one of those things that "We all know better", but in truth it's
    sanctioned false advertising.
