Why Asian Women Take Pictures of Their FOOD

If you're on Facebook, or Twitter, or some other such damn social media thing, you'll notice a disturbing trend: Asian women love to take pictures of their food. It can be anything from a breakfast brunch to a full on buffet dinner, anywhere from a skanky diner to a 5 star restaurant in NYC. I've seen it. I've DONE it. They'll be sitting someplace, making conversation and enjoying their zero-calorie  drinks, when their entree makes an entree. They'll pull out their huge state-of-the-art Nikons and start snapping away, forever immortalizing the tantalizing dish! Then they post it, proudly showing what they ate.

WHY THE HELL DO ASIANS DO THIS?

Its stupid. No one wants to see food they're never going to eat. We know this. So why do we do it anyways? Let's look at the typical Asian female. They have dark hair. They're shorter in stature. They resemble a bean pole with legs. In fact, they're so skinny a stick would say to them, "you're skinny!". Asian culture in particular abhors obesity and in fact prefers a more androgynous shape to the female body. How do they get this boy-body? Well...they don't eat. They like to LOOK at food, but not eat it. If they ate food, they might (god forbid) get some hips. So they'll go to a place where people eat food, order the food, and then spend the rest of the time staring at it. The fact is that they will take pictures so that they will feel like they're at least interacting in SOME way with food. It is pathetic on so many different levels but there you have it. My people.

Now I am no where close to the stick-iness of these Asian girls, but I do take pics of my dinner sometimes. (I say sometimes because most times I snarf it down before I think of taking a picture) I understand the mentality the Asian girls have since I share it. We have food issues, that is a given. I've spent so much time and energy in my life trying to achieve some impossible weight, that I now have a moderate obsession with sustenance. I am now at a point in my life where I don't give a flying rat-f*ck about my weight and will eat what I damn well want. My food is pretty. My food is art. I'm intensely thankful that I get to finally EAT IT. Thus, a new Facebook post of chicken francese with garlic new potatoes. Enjoy.

It may be confusing and maybe a little disturbing to see postings of somebody's chicken and waffles. But don't mess
with us... we're dealing with our issues.

AND WE'RE HUNGRY.
