Like the people that makes those ridiculous sculptures out of chocolate or take a huge block of cheese and shape a bust out of it? Idk what they do with the food afterwards but it always seems like a massive waste or resources. Like sure these people have talent but is what they are making really worthy of consideration? Imagine being some poor cocoa farmer who’s basically a slave or just straight up is a slave and all you existence is to farm cocoa for chocolate that isn’t even consumed? Some asshole just shapes into a giraffe for some rich fuckers to look at then throw in the trash to rot after maybe taking a bite. Or having some 40lb block of cheddar who’s caloric density could feed a small family for days and they just cut it up to make a stop motion bust of some fucking cartoon character? You do the same shit with clay that I could dig up in my yard.
Every time I see one of these videos it just kind of pisses me off. Maybe I would feel different if there weren’t people starving and/or being horrifically exploited all over the planet.
Chocolate of itself is problematic, so whatever you do with it leaves a bad taste in your mouth regardless.
Knew a girl that made these over the top cakes for weddings and parties, and they were eaten actually.
In general, it is wasteful.
Yeah it’s one thing to make an actual dish to be eaten that’s fancy and decorative. Nothing at all wrong with that imo. It’s the wasteful stuff made purely for decoration and to serve someones ego I can’t stand.
