10 Diverse Food Instagram Accounts That'll Bring A Little More Flavor Into Your Life
Food is life!
getty Our Instagram feeds are filled with the latest (and greatest) memes, celebrity influencers, makeup hacks, and so much more. Our timeline is curated to the specific wants, needs, and entertainment we see fit to our aesthetic.
With a single click of a button, we have the access to explore the world without purchasing an $800 flight and struggling to pack our bags the night before. The universe and all of the people in it are pretty much in the palms of our hands.
Although social media can be a useful tool to engage with companies, politicians, and life hacks we never thought we needed, it can become extremely toxic. A 2017 study found that the negative effects of social media in our society can range from "cyber harassing, hacking, addiction, fraud and scams, and reputation."
However, social media is full of amazing accounts that provide us with the useful information we can all benefit from!
Some of the best pages are none other than food Instagram accounts!
My Instagram explore page is flooded with pictures and videos of crab legs, mozzarella sticks, and tacos. And of course, the occasional animal post or two.
In the wake of George Floyd's death, now more than ever I have seen people joining together, hand in hand, to support BIPOC, including on social media.
