Featured has definitely become the food porn channel on FS.  

That is my thought every time I see a full and luscious plate of someone's dinner. I rarely stop to take a picture of the food...maybe I should. 

Its a figment of your imagination ;) 

I am trying to work out the intention of posting a picture of a plate of food. There is no indication of the calories or method of cooking as there would be in a menu or recipe . The only thing I can think of is they are attempting to demonstrate their skills with a camera. 

Yes, I agree with you... but most of it is healthy food porn...not gooey cinnamon rolls or cakes and other gooey crap that some of us are drawn to... 

@Best Effort, the calories are usually in their food logs, where they have entered the details of their meals. Read up on Fat Secret's new photo project by going to the "Blog" link at the bottom of this page on a web browser. Also, some people (younger than I am?) now seem to like to document ordinary details of their lives in photos online in a way that my generation is not accustomed to doing. 

I've noticed the same thing. Not good when you're hungry, lol. 

I wish there was some way to reset the default for the "Show Activity From" drop down, but it reverts to "Featured" every time I sign in. I understand wanting to show off something you've made and being proud of it, but it's seriously gotten nuts on here. 

I honestly don't find the pictures helpful without a recipe and explanation of what it is I'm looking at - some of it isn't that obvious and some doesn't look like it should be on a plate for human consumption! 

@Mlakhatch I totally agree. Often I think 'that looks good' but without a better idea of what's in it I don't know if a) I can make it, or b) if it falls into the requirements of my regimen. Would be great if we could encourage each other to post some descriptions with the images. 

Featured = Disposal Fodder #springtraining #grindtime 

203#, brother!?! You're chasing me hard in the wrong direction... #letsGO! 

There are a lot of changes to the phone app that I find offputting. For example, when I finish this post, it will take me back to the top of the scroll... so I can look at all the food pictures again (when I didn't care to see them in the first place). 

Lots and lots of food porn. I think we should all revolt and post pictures of random things. Like cow butts. 

Yes, I hate OPF (Other People's food) FS is trying some experiment which many of us dislike 

I agree! 

Not a fan of the food photos. And from people who are not my buddies, why is all of this what I see the most of???

Hey, Jimmie! I'm not chasing very hard. No leg work due to a broken toe. I don't work out in public gyms so I don't have an extension machine or bicep curl machine. :( As to the photos... I guess I'll have to post a photo of the cold oats I had yesterday.  

Yes, those pictures take up a lot of room. I want to see what people are doing and how much they are improving, not pictures of food that I have no idea what it is.
