Recall Michael Douglas' complaints about this subject in the movie Falling Down...

It's disturbing...but I'm still hungry!

I worked at Burger King and Jack in the Box during high school and I always went out of my way to do what they considered to be the perfect build for their products. I know that most people didn't though and to this day, I don't like fast food just because I know I could do a better job making it.

This is what happens when perfectionists make Whoppers.

But yeah, even when I did a perfect job, they were still microwaved crap that looked nothing like the picture.

GREAT move.

Food makeup art has been around for a long time. I didn't watch the video because I'm familiar with the practice, but I recall some of the reason this was done (besides making it look as tasty as possible) was because of heat from the lights and the food needing to stay out for a long time for photos and filming commercials.

You know, they make an amazing looking (and tasting) burger at The Cheescake Factory It's not fast food, but it is as good as it looks, and vice versa

I especially like the pinch-fingered way the actors hold the burger in the commercial in order to make it look bigger. That's a nice touch.

If you want a real burger, go to a diner. In fact, if you want fast food that's actually better than the quality of that garbage a diner is the best place to go.
