A disgruntled customer has sued Taco Bell after his Mexican Pizza did not look like the one advertised in the company's promotional photos.
A group of customers has filed a lawsuit against the fast-food chain Burger King alleging that the company's advertising photos make the food look bigger than what they were served up in reality.
It’s not news to most of us that the majority of food photography doesn't feature the actual food you'll receive in the establishment. Or if it does, it features a lot more besides.

"Fast Food" is a series of food photos by photographer Jon Feinstein. The images have a rather unusual look to them -- each food item is captured in front of a purely black backdrop, and is squashed on the surface as though it's being pressed against a pane of glass.
Well, actually they were: Feinstein created the images by scanning the foods with a flatbed scanner.
