David Olenick has thought a lot about what our food would tell us if it could be brutally honest. The designer and illustrator has done a series of food related pictures, NSFW language included. The cute cartoons hilariously tap into our deepest thoughts (and anxieties) when it comes to some of the things we eat.
Whether we are being seduced by chocolate or being told to calm down by a cup of tea, the drawings are almost alarmingly accurate. Some of the other featured food items include a double patty cheeseburger, beer, wine, peanut butter, lollipop, broccoli, coffee and pint of ice cream.
Many of the David Olenick pictures are also available on t-shirts or other merchandise, which are available through his website.
