This is so true. Via Visual News:

[I]t’s a frequent occurrence that the product looks far different than the picture boldly on display. Comments about food being run over by fork-lifts are often overheard, while people fork over their hard earned cash for things that hardly resemble food. What Dario helps us with, is the laughable juxtaposition often missed: that of what we are told we are getting, viewed next to what we actually receive.

For his series “Fast Food: Ads vs. Reality,” Dario carefully photographs many of the most popular fast food items, and places them next to their beautiful ad counterpart. What really gets me, is that he has taken the time to pick the best angle to capture the reality from… and it’s far from pretty.

I would add that, although Red Lobster is not a fast food restaurant, they would be on my list of worst offenders.

Be sure to visit the site to read about and see the rest of the offenders.
