Food

Food


            This photo shows two people who are both facing each other while holding two different kinds of foods. One is holding an apple and the other one is holding a hamburger. Both of the peoples’ stomachs are exposed. The one who is holding the apple is in better shape than the one holding the hamburger.
            When I looked at this picture for the first time the thing that I noticed first was the apple. I noticed the apple first because it is the only bright and colorful object in the picture. I also noticed both of the stomachs because they are complete opposites from each other. The photographer takes this picture at this angle for obvious reasons, so you can see the contrast between both of the peoples’ stomachs. Just by looking at the food that each person is holding and the condition of their bodies, you can already assume which one of them maintains a healthier diet.
            The color is important in this picture because everything in the picture is made up of cool colors except for the apple. The apple has bright colors so it draws all of the attention in the picture. Both the apple and the hamburger look yummy, but when I look at the person holding the apple vs. the person holding the hamburger, it made me think twice about what I eat and the foods that I want to be putting into my body.

            The photographer is trying to accomplish the message of eating healthy, and that different foods have different effects on your body. When I look at the picture it makes me think about all of the different kids of food I eat, and it makes me want to eat healthier. Because after all, you are what you eat.
