50 Spot-On Food Memes That Are Funny Because They’re True, As Shared On This Facebook Page

Bored Panda had a chat about food with pie artist and author Jessica Leigh Clark-Bojin. She kindly answered our questions about why we love talking about food so much, how we can enjoy eating more, and shared a simple way how we can improve our diets right now.

"Some people think the internet was created to help remote universities share datasets with each other faster, but we know the real reason: to disseminate photos of kittens and our lunches as efficiently as possible. I kid, but only a little," she said that people have been drawn to images of mouth-watering food since the time we began depicting images in two dimensions. Jessica drew attention to the fact that an entire category of Salon painting, Still Life, is dedicated to "Renaissance dudes sharing pics of their lunches to make each other jelly."

"Why do we love looking at food images so much? For the same reason we like looking at the other (ahem) kind of picture the internet is famous for—we need food to live and thrive as a tribe/species, so we're hardwired to seek it out."

Pie artist Jessica, the author of 'Pies Are Awesome,' explained to Bored Panda that there are big benefits to eating 'mindfully.'

"Eating 'mindfully' goes a long way towards ensuring we not only derive more enjoyment from our meals but eat less and better," she said. "When you are eating, only eat. Don’t be walking around the kitchen. Don’t be scrolling on your phone. Don’t be watching TV or otherwise multitasking. Sit down with just you and your food and actually pay attention to each bite you are putting in your mouth. This will help you slow down, taste your food, and your brain will be more likely to acknowledge that you just ate, and ruminate on how you feel about what you just ate."

Meanwhile, Jessica suggested swapping all beverages out for plain ol' water in order to improve our diet. Though, she admits, it might be an unpopular opinion on her part.

"A glass of water and a piece of fruit is way better for you than a glass of fruit juice. A glass of water and a handful of candy or chocolate bar is way more satisfying than a glass of sugary soda," she said that you get fewer calories and junk chemicals this way.

"You can cut out a ton of calories without making a ton of sacrifices on your plate by kicking all the drinks in your fridge to the curb, and upping your water intake. Save the non-water drinks for special occasions only. Your body (and especially skin!) will thank you."

The ‘Wannabe Food’ page has over 651k followers, and is a branch of the ‘Wannabe Ent’ project. They’re ace when it comes to picking out great memes to share with their fans. Everyone needs a bit of extra humor in their lives, and these guys know how to entertain, that’s for sure.

Whatever the future might bring—good or bad—food and comedy are two pretty universal things that probably won’t change much. In fact, we’d go as far to say that they define humanity at its core. In short, we love laughing at things and we love eating. Mix ‘em both together, and it’s a Relatability Cocktail (on the rocks).
