逢吃必拍照? 專家稱這是病得治!

Friends who seem to post a photo of every meal they eat on Instagram or Twitter may not just be annoying, they may have a problem.

喜歡把每頓飯都拍成照片發到Instagram或者推特上的朋友，不止是讓人煩，他們有可能是得了一種病。

The trend of "foodstagramming" has bothered some restaurants to the point they have prohibited diners from snapping photos of their meals.

“給美食拍照”這一潮流讓一些餐館很困擾，並且已經禁止就餐者拍攝他們的食物。

But Dr. Valerie Taylor, chief of psychiatry at Women's College Hospital at the University of Toronto, argues that obsessively documenting one's meals could be a signal of a larger dieting problem.

而多倫多大學女子醫學院附屬醫院的精神病科主任瓦萊麗·泰勒醫生認爲，過分地記錄一日三餐的這種行爲，有可能是某個重大飲食問題的一個信號。

While Taylor admitted that sharing photos of food on social media is relatively common, she said that in some cases it can come at the exclusion of everything else.

雖然泰勒承認，在社交網上分享美食照片已經很正常，但她也表示，在某些情況下，人們會將這種行爲看得過分重要。

"The concern becomes when all they do is send pictures of food," Taylor told HuffPost. "We take pictures of things that are important to us, and for some people, the food itself becomes central and the rest -- the venue, the company, et cetera -- is background."

泰勒向《赫芬頓郵報》透露：“當一個人要乾的事只剩下上傳食物照片時，這就很有問題了。我們拍照是爲了保存對我們重要的事，但有些人把食物當做生活的中心，其他的，像是所在環境、周圍的同伴等等全成了陪襯。”

While Taylor argues that producing such images may signal an unhealthy preoccupation with food, others have linked the consumption of food photography to eating issues and weight gain.

泰勒認爲拍照可能標誌着一種對食物的病態關注，其他人則將給美食拍照與飲食問題和體重增加聯繫到一起。

Television host Mehmet Oz did a segment on his show, "Dr. Oz," arguing that "food porn" was making society fatter.

電視節目主持人穆罕默德·奧茲曾在他的節目“奧茲醫生”中做過一次專題欄目，論述“美食照片誘惑”正在讓人們變得越來越胖。
