In this week’s article, the author Tefler discussed the relationship between art and food. She argued about if food can be seen as a way of art. In my point of view, I believe some food is art. Comparing fast food and slow food in general, slow food is more likely art. In the video “Slow Food Presentation”, all the sense, sound and the describe of the food bring me into a world with awesome food. From the quality of the ingredients, how to deal with them, how to cook and how to organize them in the plate, every step is quite similar with making an art work. On the other hand, in the video “Fast Food Presentation”, it mentioned that “Fast food is industrial community assembled by machines shipped from varies factories. “ Comparing with slow food, fast food is more like a product from factory. Everything in it is already set, which is the reason why their taste will not change even between different countries. “What you eat defines you.” This is one of my favorite sentences in the video. How people decide and treat what and how they eat everyday is one way that shows their attitude toward life, like artists’ works show how they think. Today’s reading “Is Food Art” also reminds me that when I was a little girl, I always stayed with my parents when they were cooking. Both of my parents love cooking. They always told me that cooking is a process of creating an art.
