Welcome back to another edition of Science Sunday and today we are talking food photography today. Did you know that there are laws surrounding food photography? In the photo, the food you are advertising has to be real, but any food surrounding it does not. Watch the full Science Sunday segment below to learn about some common food swaps- some of them may surprise you.
So, the next time you see a food advertisement- see if you can spot the swaps. Then, we encourage you to try some of this at home. What substitutes can you make for food products that will make a great food picture?
We want to see what you try at home. Share your experiments with us on social media by using the #ScienceAtPlay and tagging @CTScienceCenter.
