B
(2024·河南郑州外国语学校高一上期中)When plates are set on the table, phones, rather than forks, are at the ready. At this point in our social media entanglement(纠缠), the fact that the camera eats first is pretty much a given. Sure, some chefs, including Michelin rated star chefs, express their displeasure at this, but efforts to make the table a screen-free domain have mostly fallen flat.
New research from Aston University has found that people are indeed influenced by the food photos that their friends post on social media. For example, for every serving of fruits and vegetables that a person thinks their friends are eating, they'll eat one-fifth of a serving more. This number makes more sense within the context of the recommended "five a day", meaning someone who's being influenced would make a point of eating six portions of fruits or vegetables. Similarly, for every three portions of junk food that a person sees friends consuming on social media, they'll eat an extra one.
The researchers have also suggested that social media can be very beneficial when it comes to people's choices of food and their diets. Study supervisor Dr Jason Thomas said, "The implication (含意) is that we can use social media as a tool to encourage each other's eating choices within friendship groups, and use this knowledge as a tool for public health interventions(干预)."
Actually, the daily food situation is somewhat different from everything else posted on social media. People also desire to copy what they see but they need good social media literacy skills in order to grasp what's realistic and what's absurd. It is necessary to avoid the fake perfection of social media.
It gets boring trying to figure out what to eat three times a day, week after week, so no wonder people want to take the path of least resistance and eat what their friends are eating. Unfortunately, most of what gets posted is the more time-consuming recipes or the attractively styled restaurant meals. By all means, keep your antennae(触角) out for new ideas, but gather them from food magazines, cookbooks, store flyers, reliable cooking websites, and recommended recipes from friends and family.
