Eater

We love to eat; that's why many people enjoying taking photos for their meal. As described by Leung Man-to before, as modern people do not know how to describe their food to people (we do not have the words, or we have not learnt the words to say), the only way to tell people is to visualize it. The quickest way to do it is of course pressing the Capture button.

Initially I was one of them. But now I realize how problematic it is: it is a show-off of your life. If you hate the big spenders in the Shopping malls, how on earth you will do something that make the same effects? After all, what is the difference between a person who wears nothing but expensive (but not classy) clothes with a person who love taking photos for their feasts everyday.

For me, it is more interesting to note that, people love to take a photo with their meals as the profile picture. Well, for Hong Kong people, it is only the time of dinner that we can seat ourselves properly. We are too busy to stay for a while to take a decent picture. But dear, what is the meaning to take a photo with the meal that you are going to eat?

In the wild place, the beasts will hung up their predators to eat. In our city, people do the same: we are also animals.
