美食當(dāng)前先拍一張？愛曬美食照片也是??！

Friends who seem to post a photo of every meal they eat on the Internet may not just be annoying， they may have a problem.

The trend of “foodstagramming” has bothered some restaurants to the point they have prohibited diners from snapping photos of their meals. But Dr Valerie Taylor， chief of psychiatry at Women's College Hospital at the University of Toronto， argues that obsessively documenting one's meals could be a signal of a larger dieting problem.

“I see clients for whom food has become problematic， and they struggle to go out and not have food be the key element of all social interaction： what they eat， when they ate， when they are going to eat again，” Taylor told The Huffington Post.

While Taylor argues that producing such images may signal an unhealthy preoccupation with food， others have linked the consumption of food photography to eating issues and weight gain.

A 2013 study carried out by the University of Southern California found that spending a lot of time looking at appetising food online stimulated the brain and causes people to eat too much.

有些人喜歡把每頓飯都拍成照片發(fā)到社交網(wǎng)站上，這種行為不只是很煩，頻繁曬食物照片也可能是種病。

給美食拍照日益流行，讓餐館不勝其煩，甚至有些餐館禁止就餐者拍攝食物。但多倫多大學(xué)女子學(xué)院醫(yī)院的精神病科主任瓦萊麗·泰勒醫(yī)生說，過分地記錄一日三餐這種行為，有可能顯示出這個人有飲食障礙。

泰勒告訴赫芬頓郵報社記者：“我曾遇到過患有飲食障礙的病人，食物成為他們的社交生活的重心：吃什么，什么時候吃，什么時候再去吃。這些人要是沒有食物作動力，甚至都不敢出門。”

泰勒認(rèn)為瘋狂曬美食，是對食物過分關(guān)注的病態(tài)心理，其他人則認(rèn)為這種行為會造成肥胖等飲食健康問題。

2013年南加州大學(xué)的一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，如果花太多的時間上網(wǎng)瀏覽那些看起來很美味的食物照片，會刺激大腦致使人們過度飲食。
