If you want to do it right, the conclusions in evolutionary psychology are: -hard to get to (because just making up shit is not proper evidence, Santa Barbara church of evolutionary psychology…) -not as news sexy as that shit

Besides, the pics of food correspond more to a post of a description of an artwork rather than a post of an artwork itself. With food as the medium, you kinda gotta recreate it to appreciate it, much more than with digital art or even 3d objects.
For some kinds of physically painted art (think Rothko) you don’t exactly have to recreate it but even there the digital representations are not enough to convey what matters, for example because the physicality of the artifact matters too or because the context/arrangement adds its down dimension.
A picture of food is not food.
