Not to mention that the food stylists create something that isn't even edible. They frequently use things that aren't food to make it look more palatable onscreen.

I used to work in product photography. That is not true or legal here in Aus. The only thing they are allowed to use in the picture are ingredients used in store.

I cannot speak to the laws in other markets but that is not the case everywhere.

Of course they will go through hundreds of buns to find the perfect one etc, so it is still incredibly wasteful.

Same thing in Europe. But I think in the US everything is allowed (surprise surprise)
