The epic struggle: Pausing before devouring an amazing meal… to take a picture of it. I know I’m guilty of it. When something gorgeous is set before me — or better yet I cook something beautiful — I feel compelled to mark the moment. I have no idea why.
Well, the expected food-stagram is usually of something sort of uncommon, like a pricey gourmet meal you want to brag about. But there are plenty of people out there who think a fast food feast is pretty beautiful and worth documenting, too. And needless to say, Instagram’s artsy filters could make your dog’s kibbles look poignant and interesting, so take a look at some surprisingly artistic Instagrams of fast food below.
It’s been literally years since I’ve patronized a drive-thru fast food window, but I have to admit these photos are appetizing! Although, I would need a McDonald’s fry like… five times that size (you might be able to put together the reasons I don’t go to fast food restaurants, lack of self-control). Check out these delicious moments in fast food documentation in the gallery.
Are you a food-stagrammer?

I don’t get how this is artistic…I love my french fries and mcflurry as much as the next girl, not to be rude but I find this kind of boring, or perhaps the art is simply too deep for me to understand.

lol. back in the day when my eating disorder was out of control, these pictures would have been perfect for reminding me of why I shouldn’t eat.

I don’t know if I’d consider these photos particularly artistic, but they weren’t bad
I liked the McFlurry one haha! Also, now I want onion rings

Instagram: Fooling people in thinking their photographers.

These aren’t artistic in any sense of the word. They’re photos taken by kids with overpriced phones.

I don’t use Instagram but I do take pictures of food. Usually of especially fancy meals out, or dishes/baked goods I’ve made.

There is nothing artistic about these amateur photographs and crappy filters.

I’m someone who takes a picture of a lot of stuff before I eat it haha, but I would never call this artistic.

Meh, I’ve seen ads for McDonald’s that have looked more artistic.

i swear fast food pictures are boring, its the gourmet, restaurant & home cooked food that entice me
