Although I can’t read a word of the French copy, the pictures in the current issue hint that Yummy (Junk Food Design) Magazine fetishizes fast food culture through through the lens of a design junky. But getting past the obvious ironies, surprises abound–a pictorial of Cadbury creme eggs (those eggy fillings always struck me as peculiarly creepy), photos of Japanese candy displays, lunchmeat collages, some supermodely-lit fried chicken, and a woman having a hell of a lot of fun with a bottle of Perrier. Yummy is released annually, which is probably just as well for me since it’s priced like an art book at 30 euros. But it all goes to show that the things we eat are fertile ground for inspiration–or maybe even art?
