Question

It is easy to make a delicious-looking vegetable burger at home. But would this
burger still look delicious after it sat on your kitchen table under very bright
lights for six or seven hours? If someone took a picture or made a video of this
burger after the seventh hour, would anyone want to eat it? More importantly, do
you think you could get millions of people to pay money for this burger? These
are the questions that fast food companies worry about when they produce
commercials or print ads for their products.

Video and photo shoots often last many hours. The lights that the
photographers use can be extremely hot. These conditions can cause the food to
look quite unappealing to potential consumers. Because of this, the menu items
that you see in fast food commercials are probably not actually edible. Let’s use
the vegetable burger as an example. The first step towards building the perfect
commercial burger is the bun. The food stylist—a person employed by the
company to make sure the products look perfect—sorts through hundreds of
buns until he or she finds one with no wrinkles. Next, the stylist carefully
rearranges the sesame seeds on the bun using glue and tweezers for maximum
visual appeal. The bun is then sprayed with a waterproofing solution so that it
will not get soggy from contact with other ingredients, the lights, or the
humidity in the room. Next, the food stylist shapes a vegetable patty into a
perfect circle. Only the outside of the patty gets cooked—the inside is left raw so
that the vegetables remain moist. The food stylist then paints the outside of the
vegetable patty with a mixture of oil, molasses, and brown food coloring. Grill
marks are painted on.

Finally, the food stylist searches through dozens of tomatoes and heads of
lettuce to find the best-looking produce. One leaf of the freshest lettuce and one
center slice of the reddest tomato are selected and then sprayed with glycerin to
keep them looking fresh. So, the next time you see a delectable hamburger in a
fast food commercial, remember: you’re actually looking at glue, paint, raw
vegetables, and glycerin! Are you still hungry?
