Appetite for attention

Why do people take photos of their food and post them online? What motivates someone to share their lunch with thousands of other people? Why do people watch others eat online? And why is it so popular? This work attempts to answer these questions and more. By examining the sociological significance of eating in the context of social media, this everyday phenomenon, about which almost everyone has an opinion, can be scientifically deciphered.
