JockoT's Journal, 02 May 2017

I don't like them much either. I always change from featured to buddies. Nice to see that your weight is coming down again. 

I think a lot of it is over-cooked and grey Jocko and not very appetising but, hey ho, if school lunches float your boat . . . 

Food photography is notoriously difficult which is why most professional food stylists use things other than food in their photos - eg magnolia emulsion instead of cheese sauce. This is perhaps the reason (although I must confess I've just eaten a fairly grey soup for lunch - tasted great, looked foul) 

It`s not just you. Some look positively revolting. 

If you take a picture of your meal on the app, as a record of what you ate, it automatically pops up in the activity feed. I don't know why FS feels the need to make the photos public. They're not exactly inspiring. 

I agree, but I still try to take photos of my food as much as I can. I think it will help me be on track if I post everthing I eat. I mean I can't put here photo of a pit of ice cream :D So hopefully I wont eat! 

Is it, Bill? I didn't see that when I took a photo (of my empty plate - ha ha!). Can you tell me where I should look on the app (I have an iPhone). 

For many it's their journal entry (so automatically public) and I doubt that most post them for any other reason than it is a very quick way to record food eaten. The filter selection helps, but as of yet no omit photos option, but photos do seem to make for a friendly community forum with some lovely scenic, pets, personal and yes even food photos posted, which makes the FS members feel like real buddies. So I'm all for them, even those of the ugly duckling variety! 

I don't mind the food pics, but that sliced banana on peanut butter does not float my boat. 

I dislike it 

I was thinking I might make an image with a slogan along the lines of 'NO MORE FOOD PHOTOS', and post it at regular intervals. It looks as though they are now only showing photos as half the posts, but they still take up most of the space! 

I wholeheartedly agree. But I just couldn't be the first to admit it here . I'm delighted you have. Cheers x 

I so agree with you!!! Well done you for coming out with such a statement! 

I love your honesty and agree sincerely been a non meat eater I avoid the main feed posts x x x
