I think the idea of taking photos of food has been around for a while and there's no harm in it although I think back in the day it was more about something specially made rather than every day food photographed for people's (usually fabricated) social media representations. I think you know what I mean.
I think it's nice that families eat together especially in this hectic existence most of us lead at the moment. Back when I was a kid it wasn't anything special, it was the norm, and I'm glad to have grown up with that in my life, something I've carried forward.
