Visual artist Daniela Edburg has created a gallery of work entitled "Drop Dead Gorgeous" to showcase our obsession with and love of food. There is an in-depth interview regarding this work at The Morning News website, but basically her work shines a light on the feelings one is consumed with when a love for some food item overtakes us. The photos point out the possibility that our love of something tasty has made us go a little insane and binge eat the whole box or container of the food we love. Then the guilt sets in and these photos take that guilt to the extreme with the culmination of the binge being sudden death.
