Now this is food porn

Something bothers me about the term food porn:  it is much too often applied to photographs with artistic merit that depict meticulously prepared, high-quality comestibles.

But since when is porn about artistic merit and high quality?

If it’s food porn, shouldn’t you be simultaneously appalled and aroused by it?  Shouldn’t the sensation be along the lines of titillation tainted by slight nausea?  You know, maybe the bacon explosion, or my low-carb BLT?

Or a ramen burger!
