Food Through The Lense: Is Your Breakfast Instagram Worthy?

Hi there you beautiful beings of the blog-o-sphere!

Today we explore the world of insta food porn (if you're feeling horrified or confused or both...just search #foodporn on instagram and all will be revealed).

These days instagram is our main way of posting and sharing photos with the universe online. One category which seems to be of particular interest among instagram users is breakfast. Yes that's right-it appears to be almost impossible to scroll through instagram these days without seeing several snapshots of beautifully put together bowls of oatmeal, vibrant smoothie bowls, creatively stacked pancakes, waffles, an abundance of fruit in all different colours- I mean you name it, it's there! As this trend of artistically filtered breakfast continues, I thought I would share photos I have posted of my breakfasts on instagram over the past year (as yes I am guilty of it too- although my own creations are certainly not as aesthetically pleasing as most of the images out there!)

Will this craze continue in 2016? I mean they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it also seems to be the most creative, artistic and appealing one! What are your thoughts of posting food on social media? Is it an obsession? Do you think we need to put down the phones and just appreciate our breakfast simply as a nourishing meal for the day ahead, rather than as an 'insta worthy' opportunity? Let me know your thoughts! 

Thanks for reading!
