This restaurant exists solely to make your Instagram food photos look good

I don't want to live on this planet anymore

There's nothing inherently wrong with Instagramming photos of your dinner. It's no worse than pictures of your goddamn legs on the beach, or your goddamn kid hanging upside down from a swing. But an entire restaurant set up around the photography of its food rather than the taste is pushing it.

Catit, a restaurant in Tel Aviv, has started a series of 'Foodography' dinners, where the food is presented on social media-optimised plates and diners are taught how to take the best food photographs. They're proving pretty popular.

There's even a 360 plate so you can spin your food whilst filming it. The dream!

Admittedly, the resultant Instagrams do look pretty good.

But what price Instagram Likes? Maybe in the future science can eliminate the need for sustenance entirely, and we can all get our nutrition from how delicate a radish looks placed on top of some pea foam.
