Ever looked at what you eat from a fast-food restaurant?  Ever notice how it doesn't ever match the picture and can sometimes look rather disgusting?  Jon Feinstein decided to do a look at fast food, with no distractions on a black background. Below are a few examples, more at the link at the end.

In the short time since fast food chains have become part of our national (and global) culture, a number of burger shops have begotten some truly iconic–and insalubrious—food items, the mass production and marketing of which is utterly astounding. However, when removed from their brightly colored wrappers and shot against a stark, clinical background, as in the case of Jon Feinstein’s photographic series, “Fast Food,” the archetypal snacks and sandwiches take on a decidedly unsettling quality. “There’s this weird relationship that we as Americans have with fast food,” says Feinstein, who titled each image with the given item’s fat content, in grams. “I made a project where the food mostly looks disgusting, yet some of it is still strangely enticing—probably because the branding is so embedded in our psyches.” He adds, “I may eat it on a lower frequency now.” What follows is a selection from Jon Feinstein’s “Fast Food.”
