Obesity and Food Porn

If you don't like drugs another road to take if you are unemployed is obesity. You will find wall to wall viewing of Food Porn. There may be very few moments in the lives of people today when they are truly hungry but these moments are viciously fought over. If it isn't Jamie Oliver spraying his spittle your way its Gordon Fucking Ramsay shouting at you telling you to eat. I saw this one the other day. A fat bloke sporting a ridiculous moustache is sailing round Britain with his son in a nice yacht. Each day they arrive somewhere else and cook up a treat for the locals. The closing 10 minutes sees them all munching away, moaning in ecstasy saying nothing more than 'oh, this is lovely', ohh, give me more'.
You can imagine. Graphic scenes of other people enjoying pleasures of the flesh.I was told to not look at people eating when I was a kid, you shouldn't watch other people engaged in bodily functions. These moments are private. What is more is that, where porn offers unreal expectations for sex so these food pornographers offer us food we simply can never achieve. We don't have the ingredients.
So who watches these scenes of gluttony, fat dribbling down the chins of moaning cooks? Presumably the obese. Can there be no connection between endless food programmes, people with little money to buy good food and the obesity tidal wave?
