What is food porn?

What else can be more addictive than alcohol and sex for human beings? Yes, you got it right food and if it’s so obsessive why can’t it be adorned with an additional adjective or noun or whatever it is?

As Wikipedia puts it,

“Food porn is “a glamourized spectacular visual presentation of cooking or eating in advertisements, infomercials, cooking shows or other visual media, foods boasting a high fat and calorie content, exotic dishes that arouse a desire to eat or the glorification of food as a substitute for sex.”

Twitterati Go Gaga Over the Term

Don’t worry Food porn is a sheer culinary. It’s a social phenomenon that is enormously in vogue at the moment. Identified more than 25 million times on Twitter, it reveals a potential marketing opportunity for food corners.

So, what exactly is #Foodporn?
