Canadian expert Dr. Valerie Taylor now warns that, apart from not being the most desirable breakfast, lunch or dinner companions, so-called foodstagrammers could in fact be suffering with various psychological issues.

Dr. Taylor believes that the practice of constantly taking pictures of food and posting them either on Instagram or on Twitter indicates that a person is beginning to give food a tad too much attention.

“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,” Dr. Valerie Taylor reportedly told members of the press.

“I see clients for whom food has become problematic, and they struggle to go out and not have food be the key element of all social interaction: what they eat, when they ate, when they are going to eat again,” he later added.

This specialist is quite convinced that, all things considered, foodstagramming could be an indicator of an eating disorder.
