The book review discusses the edited collection "Food Instagram: Identity, Influence, and Negotiation" by Emily J. H. Contois and Zenia Kish. The collection explores the impact of Instagram on food issues, positioning it as a convergence of photography, commodification, and new media that shapes our eating habits. The book examines Instagram as a platform, highlighting its commercial use, user relationships, and power structures. It proposes three lenses to consider the platform: Identity, Influence, and Negotiation, and includes a transnational approach with case studies from around the world. The review concludes that the book provides valuable insights into the intersection of food and media studies, but also highlights the need for further scholarship in this area.
