Unappealing Meal Blogs

The Amateur Food Tumblr Features Captions Like "Varieties of Blob"

I'm sure you've been guilty of loving a meal so much that you just had to show everyone on your Facebook and Twitter; the Amateur Food Tumblr illustrates its distaste for these images which it so lovingly calls "blobs" and "piles."

The tumblr sums up its feelings about these amateur food photos with these words: "There has not been one single amateur picture of food on a social media site that does not look like a pile of grey-beige recycled meatloaf." The Amateur Food Tumblr then proceeds to provide examples of these pictures, with everything from falling apart burritos to questionable-looking soups.

Although not all amateur photographers of food capture their meals in these less-than-appealing ways, the Amateur Food Tumblr seems to be on to something.
