I'm not ashamed to admit it. I'm THAT guy...the guy who shares pictures of his food on Instagram. Well, people like me finally have a reason to justify the obsessive #FoodOfInstagram posts.

A new study published in the Journal of Consumer Marketing says that people like me, as annoying as they may be, are probably getting more enjoyment out of their meals than you are. That's right – the act of photographing your food before digging in could literally make it taste better. [CBC]

Simply put, the idea of "delayed gratification" makes you enjoy your food more. But this only applies to UNHEALTHY food. Trust me, Instagramming your quinoa salad and wheat grass smoothie isn't going to do much to enhance the experience.

I'm glad science is starting to validate my obnoxious social media habits. Dig in...just make sure you take a picture first!
