The Jon Feinstein [Fast Food photo series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-flavour-no-mess) informs people on just how unappetizing their favorite foods look.

For almost 10 years the photographer has been documenting [pictures of burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-kings-new-campaign), nuggets and more to reveal how unhealthy they actually are. To show the foods' true colors, Feinstein used a scanner to really get up close and personal with the dishes -- and the images are alarming. Looking at the burgers specifically, the meat and toppings all look fake and paper-like. These images were taken to raise awareness, as people need to be more aware of what they're ingesting.

For just another truth-filled topping, he also labeled the images based on their [fat content](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foodtrack) instead of what they actually are.
